Bachchan got distinctly poetic while describing Ranbir and Sonam – who made their debut in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali flick.
"Have you heard Beethoven's symphony? There's a loud orchestra followed by a thin flute sound...This was the genius composer's interpretation of desire and destiny...The destiny loud and ominous, the desire soft and gentle. It's like the two protagonists in 'Saawariya'," the Big B said.
"Ranbir is the storm. Sonam is the soft breeze. Ranbir's presence is a storm, and Sonam is the graceful, calm, gentle breeze that flowed around him. The narrative is almost like a Beethoven symphony, where the thunderous sound of the orchestra is always followed by the soft thin flute - a symbolic interpretation of gentle desire and overpowering destiny."
A hand-written letter and a beautiful bunch of flowers from Bachchan will remain the highest compliment received by Ranbir and Sonam.
