I think relationships are expectation-raisers.
Thousands would have appreciated the beauty of Sridevi, but she would have never appreciated it herself. Do you agree?
That’s true. If a diamond knows its own value, it can never be a diamond.

Only if your vital stats are 36-24-36 till the time you die, you have a face that I will never tire of seeing and a mind, like that of author Ayn Rand. And, if you love all of my films — including Aag.
