I feel like now I have another person that I want to take care of and I want to make sure that all is well. She motivates me to work harder. What binds us together is that we are very family-oriented and both of us have that upbringing. I never had a family in Bombay, but now I do.”

4. Saif Ali Khan & Sharmila Tagore
It’s always special to see the eyes of your loved ones welling up when they talk about you – it shows that they genuinely love and care about you.

Saif Ali Khan placed a hand on his chest, feeling overwhelmed. If this isn’t love, then we don’t know what is.
5. Janhvi Kapoor & Khushi Kapoor
There’s nothing greater than losing someone who’s close to you, especially a parent. These sisters lost their mother, Sridevi, when they were very young. Talking about the moment Janhvi learned that she was no more, she instantly ran to her sister’s room but the latter stopped crying the moment she noticed her elder sister.
“When I got the call, I was in my room and I could hear wailing from Khushi’s room. I think I barged into her room, hauling and crying but what I do remember is she looked at me and the minute she looked at me, she just stopped crying. She just sat next to me and started comforting me and I’ve never seen her cry about it since.”
Khushi elaborated, “I felt like I had to hold it together for everyone because I feel like I’ve always been the strong one.”
Indeed, the show has blessed us with some heartfelt moments.
