“I was sulking because he got married. I had the biggest crush on him. Everytime he used to go abroad, he used to get me like a doll or something. And I was sulking throughout his wedding. The only consolation was that he got married to Neetu ji. It was the best thing. I love them as a couple. I used to adore both of them. When we finally did a film together, he laughed because I was forced to call him ‘Chintu ji.”
