I guess that her charismatic personality invited keen interest from cinegoers and her fans in the same way as was the case with Rajesh Khanna in the 70s. The building in which she used to stay at Marine Drive was an important ‘tourist spot’ in those days for the visitors in the city. People would to wait for her ‘darshan’ which eluded most of them .

People are anxious to know more about them, their private lives etc. That is why autobiographies of celebrities are lapped up by the public.
