Glad my hero is still a rocking hero and not relegated to playing mother and grandmother roles as many of his female peers are. As for me… what can I say? I had decided to give up films even before the film was released. No regrets. Was always & remain happily clueless. I became aware of the fact that I was part of such an iconic film much much later… in fact only in the last few years. Today somebody sent me a link that my film is part of iIMDb’s most iconic romantic films of all time in their 2024 list on Valentine’s Day. What can I say… except that I am grateful…God is kind…”
