29 May 2007 | Movies, Actress | No Comments
In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Saawariya’, 94-year old charming grandlady, Zohra Sehgal and 24-year old Ranbir Kapoor will be seen together. Its interesting to note that, Zohra Sehgal has know four generations of the Kapoors. She had starter her career with Ranbir’s great grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor in Prithvi Theatres.
She is still so full of zest and no one can match her energy levels- that the unanimous verdict on Bhansali’s sets.
Bhansali, who six years ago directed Zohra in “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam”, could think of no one except her for a particular role in “Sawaariya”. “It had to be Zohraji and no one else. There was a kind of hesitation within me - after all Zohraji is 94. But all our doubts were dispelled once she came on the sets. To call Zohraji a livewire would be an understatement. “She’s the life and soul on the sets. And I dread the day when her shooting would be over. Zohraji has the most amazing memory. She remembers every single incident from her life. On the sets she comes up with the most amazing suggestions. Her enthusiasm gets to all of us.”
