Unexpected love met on Facebook
In another conversation with Sulekha Talwalkar’s YouTube channel, the actress discussed her unconventional life choices, including marrying at 60 and dealing with trolls. The veteran star shared that she wasn’t on any social media platform until her friend introduced her to Facebook, where she created a profile for the first time. She further continued that the platform helped her find the love of her life.
“I saw Atul’s profile and thought, ‘Physicists are on Facebook too?’ He was working on the Large Hadron Collider. Since I have always been interested in science, I sent him a message asking, ‘What is LHC?' Mulay recalled.
The 75-year-old said how she got herself convinced to marry at 60 years, to which she replied, "I thought about it ki kya ab 60 saal ke umar mein, main aapni zindagi ka rukh badalna chahti hoon?" (I thought about it and asked myself, do I want to change the direction of my life?)
