Recently, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, Hema Malini revealed that she cannot believe that he has turned 60 as she always thought he was in his 40s. Hema Malini was quoted as saying:
“I can’t believe he is turning 60, I thought he must be in his 40s. From the moment I saw him in Fauji I knew he was different. He suited the rich, aristocratic man’s son’s role that I was casting for. He was smart and well spoken. I got my sister to call him and he couldn’t believe it was a call from me, he just kept giggling over the phone.”
