He mentioned actress Nargis Dutt as an example, highlighting her willingness to take on a maternal role in Mother India at a young age.

Patel also highlighted that fans appreciate the Gadar franchise for its portrayal of Tara (Sunny Deol) and Sakina as larger-than-life characters. She believed that viewers would not want to see these beloved figures transition into traditional family roles like father-in-law and mother-in-law. Instead, fans cherish Tara and Sakina for their heroic and iconic status.
Despite her differences with Sharma on this matter, Patel maintained her respect for him and extended her best wishes for his recent release, Vanvaas, featuring Nana Patekar, Simrat Kaur, and Utkarsh Sharma.
