Quotes

Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Indian film director and producer

“I personally went to Bhuleshwar to pick up dresses for all my artistes for the garba dance. Smita Jayakar’s smallest of jewellery was selected with care. The colour of the curtains, the texture of the sofa etc were carefully chosen. I was particular even about the thickness of Aishwarya’s kajal.”
