Isn’t she adorable? In a throwback interview with India Forums, Vivan Bhathena had spoken reverently of his then-fiancee, Nikhila Palat and had reminisced an incident when he got the best compliment of his life from her parents. He had said, “The best compliments I have got is from my girlfriend, her parents actually. She had gone through a phase when she was unable to communicate with her parents. When I entered her life and we started dating, somehow because of me or because of how I am, she got back talking to her parents, and in fact, she got closer to them. So the best compliment was when her parents told me that because of you we have got our daughter back, she is much nicer of a person and she is communicating with us. I think if you can affect somebody’s life like that for the better, I think it’s a rare compliment.” (Also Read: Shahid Kapoor Reveals His Wife Mira Rajput Kapoor Brought An Army Of House Helps After Their Wedding)
