He told Mid-day, Avinash said that wedding photography is a different ball game. He said, ¡°There are great wedding photographers doing great work. I don¡¯t do that as such. I only do that when I have got a personal relationship and I come in there and do some portraits and fun shots.¡±
¡°So Saif and Bebo, I did not do the full wedding, they wanted me to do that one portrait because that outfit is the same outfit that Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore had worn and Sharmila ji¡¯s mother-in-law and Mansoor Ali Khan¡¯s father had worn. So it¡¯s the third generation wearing the same outfit and that pose also we recreated.¡±
Avinash further revealed, ¡°Saif and Bebo requested that they want the same thing. It was very exciting for me to shoot. We shot it at Taj and the way they carried it, it¡¯s just a memory. It¡¯s a lovely picture, a portrait. It was of that royalty we were trying to recreate and there was no effort at all in that.¡±
She told Harper's Bazaar India, ¡°I think so. You have to wear your age proudly. Today, women have become brave. For female actors, the biggest taboo was to get married... but now your marital status doesn't affect your career. Filmmakers are now taking risks and are willing to work on off-beat scripts and give different people a chance. In the end, it is all about feeling and looking confident.¡±
