That was the path I’d chosen for myself. Life chose another path for me. That’s a different story,” she says, smiling. “He’s always been …

But the conventional perception of a man turning 60 made the biggest of big …

I’ve done three films with him that have explored emotions- Sultan where he’s macho but also vulnerable and down and out in life. The kind of emotional depth he showed in that film was phenomenal.
