When Sobhita spoke about being a sad clown in love

"My physicality might make me seem like I'm a hard-a**. Strong. Cold. Independent. And the work that I've done probably supports that theory. But I'm actually quite the opposite. I'm just a sad clown. I find such joy in being less. I've just become a lot less needy. I truly believe that the purest emotion in the world is devotion," the Made In Heaven actress had once said in an interview about being in love.

"Have I experienced that? I don't think I'm so devoid of ego that I can experience that but I believe there's so much beauty in being able to, I don't know, just dissolve into someone?" she had further said.
