"It was slightly difficult for me as I was older than him. I am eight years older than him. Vo thura sa with his mother, vo thura sa tha, obliviously because I am a mother now, I completely understand that you know. Agar mera beta bhi mujhe aake bolta ki you know 8 saal badi ladki hai. Toh I would also be like, 'Dude what'."
