She further added, "It was like this caterpillar had become a butterfly. I looked at him and said, 'Superstar!' But he could not digest it, and called me biased. We both had changed from gawky teenagers to young people. We became confident and talkative. The shyness had fallen over. And we hit it off from the word go! I used to call him Pierce Brosnan, the Bond!"
Ameesha concluded by saying that the term 'Greek God', was given to Hrithik Roshan by her and that she is very proud of it.
