I feel empty... as
if something valuable had been taken away from me... if I'm not surrounded
by greenery... and at least some flowers. In Madras, my house does have
a garden, but in Bombay I have to make do with potted plants and some
fresh roses from the florist.
White flowers are
my favorite, especially "mogras" because of their heady fragrance. I don't
wear "mogras" in my hair too often but they're a must at the "poojas"
at home.
My obsession happens
to be white flowers. I don't know why but whenever I get bouquets, they're
of flowers of many, many different colors. The first bouquet I ever received
in my life was when one of my early Telugu films turned out to be a hit.
I was also thrilled when Amitabh Bachchanji sent me a truck full of flowers
after seeing the rushes of my "Dushman" dance number from Roop Ki Rani
Choron Ka Raja.
