He called her life a classic case of how each person's actual life, is completely different from how the world perceives it. In his note, the filmmaker highlighted how Sridevi's life looked perfect, but she never lived a happy life. He wrote:
"For many, Sridevi's life was perfect. Beautiful face, great talent, seemingly stable family with two beautiful daughters. From outside everything looked so enviable and desirable... But was Sridevi a very happy person and did she lead a very happy life?"

The filmmaker also added that ever since Sridevi married him, she would have blackouts on a couple of occasions. The doctors diagnosed her with a low BP issue, but she never took it seriously and continued with her diet. He said:
"She often used to starve; she wanted to look good. She wanted to make sure she’s in good shape, so that on-screen, she looks good. From the time she was married to me, she had blackouts on a couple of occasions, and the doctor kept on saying she had a low BP issue. Unfortunately, she didn’t take this seriously, and she also thought maybe it can’t be this serious until the incident happened."
