In fact, she even came and told me that she had seen my South movies and had liked my work there and she herself had acting ambitions in her life later on.""I remember clearly that she told me that she wanted to do Marathi films and be an actor like me. There was so much energy and positivity in her eyes and the way she called me her inspiration while expressing her love for acting touched my heart and made it a special memory for me.
