Swimming pools will never be the same for me again…. NEVER!”

He went on to suggest that couples heading out this Valentine’s Day should watch Tu Yaa Main together.

I am still stressed, and the film got over 30 minutes ago! I feel like a crocodile may appear even in the middle of Mumbai traffic and attack me (I am dramatic, I know, but this film has made me take an extra dose of my BP meds).”
