And I was probably very young to understand what was happening to this man who was a superstar. I mean I have never been able to understand stars and their behaviour pattern at all because I am not one myself. It’s very difficult for me to.. I couldn’t understand it. I just couldn’t understand it.”
The interviewer asked Dimple if she remembered that phase of her life. To which she replied affirmatively. She was then asked if that period was traumatic. And Dimple replied by saying that it was very traumatic.
