Lakshmi(I)

Mother of actress Aishwarya who starred in the 1993 movie Gardish.

[In 2012, when she was 60 years old] Lot of people ask me how I'm ageing gracefully; I guess that is no big deal. I coloured my hair grey to look old even when I young, when I can do it on screen why have qualms now? After reaching 40, doesn't your hair turn grey, don't you walk an extra mile to be slim? Why should I spend lakhs of rupees to tighten my skin, look like a teenager and compete with my grandchildren? I should maintain health - physical and mental - and maintain healthy relationships and not like a body whose post mortem has just been done.
