Vidhu Vinod Chopra recalls making Kareeb for Anupama
His third marriage with Anupama Chopra has worked well. The two share a strong bonding and right from the beginning the pair were very much in love with each other. Talking about his initial days with Anupama, the 1942: A Love Story director once said, “Kareeb I made for her. I made her kind of movie. I was so much in love with her that I made Kareeb for her. That girl (female lead in Kareeb) was her, the giggling mother was her mother.”
“I got jacked because it wasn’t my kind of movie at all. It was the most expensive love letter ever written,” he added. The director even admitted that he was a very violent man earlier but Anupama changed him a lot and now he is a much better person.
