Do you believe that love can positively influence someone’s health and mindset?<\/p>\n

A small change that made him smileAdvani recalled moments of lightness. \u201cI remember giving him my goggles once. At first, he resisted, but then he wore a bronze pair and looked in the mirror. He smiled and admitted they suited him. Later, I had prescription lenses made for him, and gradually, he even started enjoying them. That small change showed me that when someone loves you and motivates you, even stubbornness softens.\u201d<\/p>\n

The romantic hero in real lifeAdvani said India\u2019s first superstar remained deeply romantic and childlike with her. \u201cHe used to sing and dance for me. The most romantic hero on screen was equally romantic in real life\u2014sometimes even more. With me, he was completely comfortable\u2014laughing, teasing, and spoiling me like a child.\u201dBut Anita also admitted to his dual nature. \u201cWhen he was in a good mood, he would make me feel like a queen.
