In the heartfelt conversation, Sharmila shared that once she read a post on social media, which has stayed in her mind even after all these years. She recalled that the post was about her daughter-in-law, Kareena Kapoor Khan and her elder son, Taimur Ali Khan, and it left her thinking if these people were even real. Revealing how people wished that Taimur would have never been born, Sharmila added:
“I read one post which said it would have been better if Kareena had Zika and Taimur was never born. I said how can somebody actually think like that? How is it possible for somebody to even wish a one-day-old baby so much harm? I don’t feel afraid myself, but I just wonder, what is this world? And who are these people? Or are they just repeating what is being said? Are they real?”
Reflecting on the hatred that they received from various corners of society, Sharmila shared that it is impossible for a person to please everybody. However, she added that one must always try to please themselves and focus on their life goals. Giving a strong message to her fans and society, Sharmila said:
“Can you really please everybody? So why even try? Because if you go according to other people’s prescriptions then your own focus, your own desires get lost and you can’t really win so you lose anyway so why even go that way? You might as well please yourself.”
