'Not a single day passed when we would not talk to each other. If we could not talk face to face, then we used to talk for hours on the phone. Soon I understood that I fell in love with Suraiya, but her grandmother was the biggest obstacle in this love story. Nothing would have happened in Suraiya's house without her nanny's permission. She was the villain of our love story. The biggest reason for this was that Suraiya was a Muslim while I was a Hindu". Dev Anand further writes that "I did not get rest without seeing Suraiya. It was difficult for me to spend a moment without her. As Suraiya's family was increasing the restrictions on our love, our love continued to grow. Her family had stopped her to meet me. Suraiya was a big star, she was surrounded by people all the time. I had to work hard to meet her. We met once a day near a water tank. At that time, Suraiya used to hug me and said - I love you. Just then what was it that I thought that I propose Suraiya and took the matter forward".
