"We drifted. We were too young. I was very young. I think I also changed. We love and respect each other for the people that we are. We have a child together. So that is something that will never ever change. But I feel we are far better people. Then, I think we were very irritable. Very irritable people. We became angry, negative people. I also remember very few people actually said that to me. You, Karan (Johar), very few people actually said that to me."
