MUMBAI : The veteran actor Sharmila Tagore opened up about appearing on a magazine cover in a bikini in the 1960s and remembered her husband Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi's reaction. She further mentioned how, before their marriage, she had given the late cricket player a Mercedes valued at Rs 1 lakh.

In an interview, Sharmila talked about how her husband responded to her bikini photos in the magazine on Kapil Sibal's YouTube channel. She said, “My husband was very different. He was very little perturbed and extremely supportive. He was calm and non-judgemental. He was far away in London and didn’t realise what was happening here. I believe there were questions asked in the parliament. I had no idea that it could cause such a stir. I was young, I had a good figure, and nobody forced me to do it. The cameraman asked me something about it, but I paid no heed.”

When Kapil asked Sharmila about her live-in relationship with Pataudi before tying the knot, she said, “being an actor, I have always had a sense of timing. After being with Tiger for some time, I thought this is the time to get married. I didn’t want to get married when I was too old.”

During the conversation, Sharmila also revealed gifting a Mercedes to Pataudi before their marriage. “It was before our marriage, and in those days, a Mercedes would cost Rs 1 lakh. You couldn’t buy a car directly; you had to get approval,” she said. Sharmila Tagore and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi got married in 1968 and were together until his demise in 2011.

Sharmila Tagore also complimented her daughter-in-law Kareena Kapoor's film Crew, which co-stars Tabu and Kriti Sanon, in the same interview.

“It is absurd, of course, beyond belief but there are three women pulling off this adventure. One is landing a plane, one is breaking a safe… doing all kinds of things together and the camaraderie between the three is excellent because they say a woman is a woman’s worst enemy, not so here,” she said.
