The actor, who continues to maintain a tad low profile, says, 'I have had a complicated relationship with my public persona. I never watched my films once we were done making them. Now, I've been away from films for 10 years, so there are films of mine I haven't watched for 12-15 years. In the past year, as I started to reconnect with my public persona and began working on healing my relationship with that part of life, I consciously revisited each of those films as part of a growth exercise.
It's been a joyous and beautiful experience. I love the process of making movies, and I ended up working with people I had a good vibe with.'
'I haven't maintained a relationship with the audience, but they still love me'
Ask him whether he ever had the fear that he would be forgotten and the Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na actor says, 'I don't have FOMO (Fear of missing out) I have FOBIA (Fear of being included in activities). It's a bit confusing because people who have tasted the limelight cling desperately to it and go to great lengths to maintain it. There was a phase when I refused to sign films, give interviews or cut ribbons at events. Despite that, somehow the audience still remembers me, and they have reached out to me online even though I wasn't selling them something.
It's like a friend I haven't maintained a relationship with, but they still love me.'

This Actress Started Bold, Married Into Royalty And Was Even Linked To Imran Khan
1/10 In the film industry, it is often believed that an actress's career comes to an end once she becomes a mother. However, one actress defied this stereotype by beginning her career after marriage and motherhood, making a striking impression with her debut. That actress is Moon Moon Sen, who captivated audiences in the 1980s with her beauty and style. Despite the controversies that surrounded her, Moon Moon Sen left an unforgettable mark on the industry. Beyond acting, she also ventured into politics, achieving success there as well. Moon Moon Sen hails from a wealthy background. Her grandfather, Adinath Sen, was a successful businessman, and her mother, Suchitra Sen, was a celebrated Bengali actress. In 1978, Moon Moon Sen married Bharat Dev Verma, a member of a royal family and a businessman. The couple has two daughters, Riya and Raima Sen, both of whom tried their hand at Bollywood but did not find much success. Moon Moon Sen started her film career at the age of 30, after she was married and a mother, surprising many with her bold choices. Her debut film was Andar Bahar (1984), followed by notable roles in films like the thriller Sheesha (1986) with Mithun Chakraborty, the horror romance 100 Days (1991) alongside Madhuri Dixit and Jackie Shroff and the action drama Zakhmi Dil (1994) with Akshay Kumar. She also starred in Sirivennela (1986), Mohabbat Ki Kasam (1986), Musafir (1986), 12B (2001) and the horror romance Kuch To Hai (2003). Moon Moon Sen appeared in a total of 60 films and over 40 TV shows across Bengali, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Marathi cinema. Her performance in Sirivennela earned her several awards in 1987. Before entering films, Moon Moon Sen studied English Literature and taught at a school in Kolkata. She is also an Oxford graduate. Later, she joined Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress to pursue a career in politics. Moon Moon Sen's personal life attracted significant media attention. She was linked romantically to Saif Ali Khan, producer Romu Sippy, Victor Banerjee, and former Pakistani cricketer and ex-prime minister Imran Khan. Reports suggested she and Imran Khan dated while she was married, and the two even posed for a magazine shoot. In a 2019 interview with PTI, Moon Moon Sen addressed these rumours, explaining she enjoyed Imran Khan's company and saw no problem as her husband was understanding. She clarified their relationship was purely friendship.
