Revealing the reason behind it, Sharmila added that they lost not just Amrita but also the Pataudi grandkids, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan. Sharmila added:
“When you are together for such a long time and you have such lovely children, then no break up is easy.

But that's water under the bridge, she needed time to cool down.”
