'Smita loved us very much'
Talking to Lehren Retro, Juhi said- 'When I was barely seven years old, my father told me about my marriage with Smita Patil. I think she (Smita) had it in her mind that we are the children of the person who is most special to her, so we are also special to her.'
'She loved us so much. Whenever she went on a trip, she always brought us gifts and she always tried to serve us the food we liked at home. These little memories are good, but unfortunately, they don't amount to much.'
