She was my very first choice. Due to health reasons at that time, she couldn’t say yes, but it is a regret I have.”
Health Struggles During The Pandemic
Sharmila Tagore, breaking her silence on her health battles, revealed, “This is at the height of Covid. They hadn’t grappled with Covid at that time. They didn’t know the vaccine… We were not vaccinated. You know, after my cancer. So, they didn’t want me to take that risk.” Although the shooting for ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ proceeded during the pandemic, Sharmila couldn’t participate due to her health circumstances.
