She added, “When I saw Veer Zara, I told my daughter, Akshata, if Dilip Kumar would have been young he would have done Veer Zara. Now Shah Rukh Khan is taking that place and only he can act in that. Just fantastic.” Veer-Zaara (2004) is a romantic drama directed by Yash Chopra. It stars Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, and Rani Mukerji.

I enjoy movies.”Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) is a comedy-drama directed by Kabir Khan. The film stars Salman along with Kareena Kapoor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Harshaali Malhotra.

Sudha also spoke about the song Do Lafzon Ki Hai Dil Ki Kahani. She said, “For example, there is a song in the movie Gangster I think, Zeenat Aman and Amitabh Bachchan in Venice, Do Lafzon Ki. Beautiful song.” Kapil then asked if he should sing the song for her. Sudha said, “Hann sunaiyye. Mujhe bohut pasand hai (Yes sing. I love that song a lot).” The host sang the track and Sudha joined him.
