Nafisa on the other hand was born in 1957. If I were Basu, Waheeda it would have been. She looked good enough in Delhi-6. Nafisa was not chosen because of just her grace but also because she fit the (traditional) bill of beauty – flawless skin, beautiful eyes, etc. Which is fine, but my beef is she has negligible acting skills and her hindi diction is terrible. Kishori Balal (‘Kaveri Amma’ in Swades) swept me off my feet, but then maybe she is too motherly to fit a love story (which is such a shame). I would also have considered Suhasini Mulay (Sid’s mother in Dil Chahta Hai), she has tremendous screen presence and may I say far more gracious than Nafisa. Any of these but wooden Nafisa! I am tempted to go ask garam dharam why he came across as cold!! ps: I must say I have always had a crush on Waheeda and so Nafisa does not stand a chance. :-) ‘Filmy’ Gunveen,

'Major Saab' is proof enough. On the other hand, she could be termed as the epitome of soberiety and grace in the otherwise loud, brash Bollywood. Maybe Basu was left with little or no choice. Waheeda on the other hand, is too old for this role. Was watching the '91 movie 'Lamhein' yesterday in which she looks relatively old, yet acts fabulously. I can't think of anyone else with a strong screen presence lest we are happy with Raju's mother in the movie called '3 IDIOTS'..It was indeed a shame to have her in a support role. 'Tum Bin' is another interesting watch. Swades, Taare Zammen Par, Cheeni Kum, Jhankaar Beats, Pyaar ke Side effects are others that I can't seem to get enough of. Filmy Gunveen Gurdas,

Yet, something was amiss which is why I thought it was not well cooked. I will have to go back and watch the movie again because I no longer remember the specifics. What I do remember is that Nafisa was not up to the mark in the acting department, which I why I would have preferred a Waheeda in her place.

It couldn't be depicted loud, clear and youthful. Companionship at its best! That is what one can ask for at +60 age. I think the sober love was simply innocent and lovely! Gunveen Gurdas,
