I have not seen that part of India yet, but have heard a lot about it. I also want to go because I want to feel how our soldiers, our soldiers guard in these temperatures of minus 30 and minus 40. I am not like them. But, if I can feel it once, then maybe my writing will become a little more truthful'.
Who is your favorite actress?
The next question asked to the lyricist was, 'Who is your favorite actress and favorite foreign actress in Indian films? He replied, 'I like Meena Kumari ji very much.
