But as my role would be a mother of 4 grown up girls, Aamir felt that regardless of whatever could be done; I might not look old enough to play a mother to four teenage daughters. That is the only reason why I did not get cast in the film,\u201d said Mallika, who was spotted performing Ganesh aarti at Ranjit studios here.<\/p>\n
