Quotes
Madhuri Dixit
Indian film actress and former dance reality show judge
“"As kids, we are often taught not to talk to strangers, to lock the house at night, but what’s been happening lately are so many cases where the crime is committed by a close one and not a stranger. They know the way to our home and sometimes have the key too; it’s shocking. This time, on Crime Patrol, we want to bring such cases to light that shocked the nation."”
