Geeta further wrote in her letter, which she posted on her Instagram: “Ekdum hatti khatti aur lambi chaudi, mujhe to She-Hulk ko apna gym buddy banana hai (She is physically fit, I want to make She-Hulk my gym buddy) Uski aur meri life bhi dekhaa jaaye to kaafi ek jaisi hai (our lives are similar, if you see).”
“Wo lawyer ban ke logon ki raksha karti hai aur main DSP ban ke”, the wrestling legend added.
