The actress says, "It's an honor to be the first Indian celebrity to appear on this show. Russians love my film Seeta Aur Geeta even today. I was not aware of my popularity there till I was invited by our Speaker in Parliament. So I went there in the capacity of a parliamentarian."

She recollects how overwhelmed she was by the love she received from the Russian population. "They were standing on the streets with flowers, as they wanted to see Zita Aur Gita — that's how they call Seeta Aur Geeta," she smiles, before adding with wide-eyed delight, "It is the most popular film there.
