During a conversation with Diya Jaiswal, who is the President of Ladies Study Group, Sharmila Tagore revealed how, much like Anushka Sharma was trolled for Virat Kohli’s performance during a match, she was also blamed at that time. She said, ‘Most certainly. Those days we used to sit with the crowd. With the crowd in Bengal, I never feel threatened. I still feel Calcutta is my place and I think people like me there. But my father when Tiger dropped a catch or something, screamed saying, “You shouldn’t have kept him up all night”.’ 

The veteran actress also shared some anecdotes on her relationship with Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. She revealed that when he proposed to her, he immediately broke the news to his mother. The actress then also spoke about what she liked in him. “I liked his sense of humour and I felt that this man is not going to hurt me on purpose. I trusted him and he was gentle and a gentleman. His humour was very wacky but I loved it,” said the actress.
