Sharmila Tagore is one of the most talented actresses in the Hindi film industry. Right from the tender age of 14 years, Sharmila Tagore has been winning the hearts of her fans with her exceptional acting chops, divine beauty, queen-like aura, and more. In her personal life, the veteran actress tied the knot with the former Indian cricketer, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi in 1969. It was back in 2011 when the prolific cricketer bid goodbye to the world, therefore ending their 43-year marital journey. Sharmila, in several of her interviews, talked about her and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi's love story, and now she revealed if the late cricketer was romantic enough.
Sharmila Tagore recently graced Amitabh Bachchan's reality show, Kaun Banega Crorepati 15. While being there, the actress opened up about several anecdotes about her and her late husband's dating period. During the conversation, Sharmila was asked if Mansoor was romantic. To this, the actress gave a hilarious response. Sharmila walked down memory lane and recalled their 'full moon' date. The actress shared that once they went near the Narmada River in Bhopal during a full moon. The actress further recalled how she asked Mansoor to join her to sit near the river, and the late cricketer straightaway said 'no'. Talking more about the same, Sharmila said:
"Romantic and Tiger? You know we were near Narmada in Bhopal. I said that it's so nice, it was a full moon. Beautiful. I said let's go and sit near the river. And he said that he's not going. It's so late in the night and he won't go. That's it.”
