Anushka Sharma has defended her Jab Harry Met Sejal director Imtiaz Ali. The actress said,
“People think he uses the same templates in his films; I have never seen anything like that. Some props are similar, but there’s an unbeatable lure in his films. True love happens only when people discover who they really are, and Imtiaz views love as teacher. One can’t tell Imtiaz how to make a love story. I like how real his characters feel. Imtiaz portrays that reality with such honesty that he cannot hit a false note.”

“He couldn’t forget Isha Koppikar. I think it was a case of ‘first love cannot be forgotten’. At times, he used to tell me that he is going to meet her. I even told him to get her home sometimes, but he did not. I think he was in touch with her even after we divorced each other. He wouldn’t show it too much and he didn’t tell me either – but I could sense that he couldn’t shake off Isha from his mind. Maine shaadi ke time bhi suna tha that he hasn’t forgotten Isha but I ignored that hearsay. Add this to his habits – drugs and alcohol. It became very tough on me.”
Sonal also hinted that she was physically abused by the late actor. “Haan, woh sab to chalta rehta tha. And then you know, there came a point where I couldn’t take it any longer,” she said.
