The Impressive TimesVeteran actor Sharmila Tagore and her husband late Tiger Pataudi were the equivalent of Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli of their time. Both were extremely successful in their field but weren’t excessively qualified in their partner’s area of expertise. In a recent interview, Sharmila spoke about the same and joked that she was banned from all cricket-related discussions in her ‘nikaahnama’. She said that she doesn’t know much about cricket, but knows that it doesn’t take a lot of money to make a good movie. She said that working with the legendary Satyajit Ray taught her that imagination and creativity is more important than a big budget when it comes to making great cinema. In a conversation with lawyer and politician Kapil Sibal, she said that the industry is constantly changing, and that she is sure that even smaller films will find their audience if they’re good enough. Sibal drew a parallel to the world of cricket, specifically the IPL, and Sharmila said with a laugh, “I don’t think I’m qualified to talk about cricket. It was a part of my nikaahnama that you will not discuss cricket ever.”
