“I think I have seen her journey, of course. And likewise, she has seen my journey. But for me, the transition of Patralekhaa, from being this independent, you know, how beautiful Patralekhaa is, to when I saw her as a mother, how she became this very sensitive, timid, fragile girl that I saw when I first met her.”

It’s way more tough for women, physically and emotionally also, way more tough. But of course, for men also, it’s tough emotionally, physically not that much. But women go through a lot. So this journey of hers has been beautiful. I think it’s been fantastic.”
