I don't know how you can come to that conclusion.

Isn't this a media created picture of Aamir / SRK interfering in the process and Hrithik / Ash not being so?

Sorry for blaming AG all along.

I have the highest regard for Gulzar but I honestly feel JA has mastered the art of writing good lyrics for cinema.
