I remember an incident during the making of Woh Kaun Thi. We were shooting outdoors and in the evening, since I was doing nothing, I went over to his room. There the three of us—he, his wife, and I—just sat around reading whatever each of us was reading. There was complete silence in the room; just the noise of the fire crackling. It was a comfortable silence, you know the kind you only have with close friends. After about fifteen minutes of silence, Mr. Khosla suddenly looked up and said, “Sadhana, what do you think of yourself? Do you think you are very pretty?” I said, “No, I don’t.”
He persisted, “Then how would you describe yourself?”
“Raj ji,” I replied, “I’m not beautiful, but I’m very charming, utterly charming, and you can’t deny that.”
