For the first time ever, mother-son duo Sharmila Tagore and Saif Ali Khan came together for an interview. Sharmila made her debut on Karan Johar`s chat show Koffee With Karan 8 along with her son Saif. The mother-son duo shared several anecdotes from their personal lives. During the episode, host Karan Johar revealed that he had offered Sharmila Tagore a role in his recent film `Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani` which was eventually played by Shabana Azmi. Sharmila revealed why she rejected the film and during the conversation revealed that she was diagnosed with cancer.
Talking about the offer he had made, Karan Johar told Saif Ali Khan and Sharmila Tagore, "I had offered Sharmila ji the part played by Shabana Azmi in `Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani`. She was my very first choice. Due to health reasons at that time, she couldn’t say yes but it is a regret I have." Sharmila came out of her self-imposed break from acting this year with the film `Gulmohar` where she played a queer character.
