Paul says that he was taken aback for the first time when after a long lay-off, Saira sent him a recent picture. "I could not believe that this was Saira. Not only had she lost lots of weight, but she looked radically different." Paul went on to send that picture to us, which made his eyebrows rise. "Saira sent me that shocking picture on my phone. I could sense that she had done something to herself." For those who've come in late, Saira Khan died on Saturday after a cardiac arrest. Besides Kamasutra 3D wherein she had replaced Sherlyn Chopra, Saira had done a few regional films as well.
Paul adds that he feels that Saira's cosmetic surgeries may have had a toll on her heart. "Who knows, the several cosmetic surgeries may have had an adverse effect on her heart," says Paul.

Last night, we also brought you the story of Saira being extremely keen to do a web series and making fervent inquiries from Paul if he had a subject to weave one. Paul had a story and Saira had apparently heard that from the movie circuit. Alas, the wish remained unfulfilled!
