Speaking with Siddharth Kannan, Pooja said, “No, because I see it very simple, and I think that unfortunately jo hota hai, a frozen moment can be represented and misrepresented in any way. Aur mujhe yaad hai Shah Rukh ne mujhe yeh kaha tha when you have daughters, jab hi aapke bacche chote hai, how often child just say, ‘Mummy papa give me a kiss’. (I remember Shah Rukh Khan once told me that when you have kids, often the child asks the parents to give them a kiss). And they go this way.”

Pooja added, “Main ab bhi iss umar mein bhi wahi 10-pound ki bacchii hoon for my father. Woh zindagi bhar wahi rahenge for me (Even at this age, I’m still the same 10-pound kid for my father. He will always remain the same for me).”
