Mamata Shankar remembers the amazing actor Sreela Majumdar, who passed into the ages last week.

'Since God was being shown in live action on such a large scale, Prasanth was initially sceptical about going with an animated character.'

'As we grow older, we fight much less with each other.' 'The magic mantra is 'Drop it!'' 'I would recommend it for all relationships.' 'In anger, we can say many hurtful things that can leave a deep scar, so dropping it is the healthy way of preventing that from happening.'

'Later, I asked Hrithik how he could have remained so calm in the circumstances. He told me simply, "What could have happened? At the most, they would have killed me".'

'He was an extremely naughty child, always in trouble and creating trouble.' 'He wanted to fly a kite at night, and sometimes, bunk school.' 'When I insisted on sending him, we could get a call from school that he had fainted.'

'Holding on to superstardom is far more difficult than the struggle to get there.'

'Our viewers have grown up over the years.' 'Today, they want to see something which is sensible, a story rooted in logic rather than jingoism.'

'There can be no bigger compliment than people walking away, carrying the film in their hearts, and thanking you for it.'

'We are the same people who can quench a man's thirst and also kill him.'

'The girl who helps me at home has had a tough life, yet her perspective of life is so much more positive than mine despite the hardships she's endured.'

'The sari is the most comfortable attire for curvy Indian women, who are all bust and butt.'

'I was at Deepika's wedding at Lake Como, also at the receptions in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, and every moment was unforgettable.'

'When he was offered B R Chopra's Zameer, many advised him against playing Saira Banu's father, pointing out that a decade ago, he had been her hero in her debut film, Junglee.' 'When he asked me, I pointed out that he was an actor first, so nothing should stop him from playing any role.'

''Even today, after 63 years, I'm still looking forward to a new release.'

'Given that they are playing at home and will have full crowd support, India, who are in peak form and whose morale is high, will be the favourites.'

'Ours is a disaster movie with no big stars, songs or commercial ingredients.' 'Yet, it is Malayalam cinema's highest grosser.'

''I don't revisit any of my work once it's complete because I'm very self-critical.' 'I will probably exclaim, "Oh God, such bad acting!"'

'How do you stay so energised? So young?' 'Dev Anand flashed that familiar crooked grin and told me, "The mind never grows old. It urges you to surge ahead".'

'I hope more shows highlight the unsung heroes of our rich history.' 'As for bringing the trophy home, a man can hope, but truly I am just excited to be there.'

'A simple boy from Gurdaspur, whom I caught glimpses of when he was sitting alone in his penthouse, reflecting on life and how far he had come.'
