There she is, a simple warm smile sitting coy with the beauty spot on her lips. Long hair adding lustre to the beautiful actor called Rati Agnihotri. Effervescent and impish, the yester year star of Ek Duje Ke Liye watches the on- going event at Fort Ramgarh, often breaking into laughter, clapping and cheering up.
