Veteran actor Sharmila Tagore and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi’s relationship had been the talk of the town for a very long time until they got married. The couple finally tied the knot in 1968. Sharmila reportedly met the former captain of the Indian cricket team through common friends at an after-match party. Speaking at a recent Mother’s Day event for YFLO, Sharmila took a trip down the memory lane and recalled an interesting story.

Talking at the event alongside granddaughter Sara Ali Khan, Sharmila said, “My husband told me ‘you should go to the kitchen at least three times a day.’ I said ‘Tiger, that is a very bad idea. It would be very very counterproductive if I went to the kitchen. I will start asking ‘Yeh nai hai, woh kaha hai. Somebody would resign. It’s much better if I don’t go to the kitchen.’”

The actor continued, “At the end he gave up and started cooking himself. That was so clever of me, He started making such wonderful things. It made him so confident. He started calling people for recipes. He would make a new dish, watch YouTube, and ask friends for recipes. Once I was in London, someone called and said ‘he gave us this fantastic meal.’ He was doing very well without me going to the kitchen.”

The couple have three children- Saif Ali Khan, Saba Ali Khan and Soha Ali Khan. Saba recently took to her Instagram handle and shared a throwback picture featuring her parents. She wrote, “Abba n Amma….. You both were the best! Miss reminding Abba, who I think pretended to forget;) it’s their Anniversary! And who’d then promptly wish her n get some flowers to surprise her!”
