Baazigar: I fell in love with SRK when I first saw him in Baazigar. I was 12 at that time. I watched it in a theatre with my mom and sister. Every time he appeared on the 70mm screen, I would blush! Also, I wept bitterly when he was beaten brutally in a fight sequence in the film. The song Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhen still drives me crazy.
Bombay: I watched it with my school friends right after my exams. It aroused within me emotions which I never knew existed before. Watching Manisha Koirala and Arvind Swamy yearn to belong to one another was overwhelming. The song Tu Hi Re Tu Hi Re is one of my favourite sad songs.
Ben Hur: This was the first period film that I had ever seen. The chariots, the linen fabrics, the massive locations, the miraculous story transported me into a world of transcendence. This film introduced me to the eternal compassion of the Divine. And one more thing, I had a giant crush on the leading actor Charlton Heston.
BraveHeart: I have quite fond memories of this film. I had watched it with my dad. Every time I miss him, I rent a DVD of the film and watch it alone. Mel Gibson's passion, suffering, strength, sacrifices, endurance and victory made me make him my idea of an ideal man.
Basic Instinct: I saw this controversial film when I was 17. I didn't know what lovemaking was all about until I saw steamy scenes of Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas. I remember feeling guilty later that day after walking out of the theatre. It felt as though I had eaten the forbidden apple. I guess it was my first step to adulthood.
