"Nowadays the audience is experimenting with various kinds of cinema. In the ?90s when I came, there was also this clean, virginal image that heroines were needed to have, with a clear list of ?yes?s and ?no?s?. Today, those narrow thoughts have gone. Today, they know that a heroine who is in a relationship is not going to be unprofessional just because she is seeing someone. To me, the best era of Hindi cinema was around the time of Guru Dutt!", - Manisha Koirala
