I like the way you keep in touch because I know that if I sent you a message, you will invariably answer," adding that although her son Saif Ali Khan would reply, Soha Ali Khan would take her time to do so.

Sharmila also loves how welcoming and cordial Kareena is. "If I am coming to the house, you will ask me what I like to eat, and I get what I want. That must be the Kapoor trait because you keep a wonderful table," she said.

"I have seen you during various stages, and you have been rather wonderful, I must say," said Sharmila to Kareena.
