I was 26 in New York when I lost my virginity right after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai had released. There was a little bit of confidence that had stepped up within and we went for an awards function. I remember being at this hotel and not knowing what being picked up means till the person got quite specific and I felt really great about myself. I was very grateful to that person.
