 "Markandey Katju expresses love for 'sherni'Jayalalithaa")
Former Supreme Court Justice Markandey Katju expressed his love for Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and wished her a speedy recovery.
Expressing his love for 'sherni' Jayalalithaa, Katju in a Facebook post said, "When I was a young man, I found her extremely attractive and had fallen in love with her, though of course she did not know about it, and it was unrequited love."
He added that he still finds her attractive and loves her.

Jayalalithaa was admitted to the hospital three weeks ago after she complained of fever and dehydration.
