00:33Then I got an offer for an ad film, New York Life, the original New York Life.
00:40And he was heading the Asian Indian market, he was heading I think 5 markets there.
00:45Korean market, Chinese market, Vietnamese market and Pakistan market and everything.
00:49So, this guy who was supposed to be the corporate vice president,
00:53he comes here to shoot an ad in India.
00:55Later, we got to know that he is an India addict.
00:58What do you mean?
00:59He's lived in US, but he loves India, he loves everything about India.
01:05So, he needed an excuse to come here.
01:08So, when the ad was being shot, he came here.
01:10Now, I had thought that I won't do acting, that was the phase.

01:26And he was the client and I was the model in that ad.
01:31And when I came there as an old lady, 65 years old,
01:35with white hair, white saree, I had to come.
01:39And he said, I don't mind growing old with someone like you.
01:43I said, he is just flirting.
01:49And he still is, he is such a good looking man, you've seen him.
01:54He looks like a model.
