Revealing the reason behind it, Sharmila added that they lost not just Amrita but also the Pataudi grandkids, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan. Sharmila added:
“When you are together for such a long time and you have such lovely children, then no break up is easy. Then it is not a harmonious… I know it is difficult to have harmony at that stage, everybody is hurt… so that stage was not nice but I tried. But that's water under the bridge, she needed time to cool down.”
