I didn\u2019t know how to distinguish between reel and real,\u201d she said during a recent interaction with After Hours with All About Eve.Divya added, \u201cI love him, who doesn\u2019t, but in Baghban, I played a very nasty woman, and I was a child myself, I was 17\u201318 at that time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018My good mornings just dimmed away\u2019<\/p>\n
