Dimple had remembered the time when Rajesh Khanna had said that Aarav would be the next superstar, "I can see the spark in his eyes. He is mad like Kakaji. I remember once while Kakaji sent a sweet box to Aarav just a year before he died. I told him how you could give him the box without writing anything on it? He then wrote, "To naughty one from the nana whom you love." That was his style. He could have written, "From the Nana who loves you." I have clicked a picture and preserved it. When Aarav grows up, I shall present it to him."

I fell in love with a superstar who was unique. Everything he did was so different, including his gestures and expressions. Importantly, he was good with his fans.
