Q: You have been associated with entertainment industry for a long time now. What is the secret of your fitness ?
A: Since my college days I have been particular about my fitness. Even today, I regularly attend Gym, i.e. three days a week, go for regular walks and do Yoga and meditation.

A: When we made the first film, it was because my husband saw Saibaba repeatedly in his dreams. And the second was also the result of the same thing; as he felt that he had missed few events in the life of this great saint from Maharashtra.
