What's Happening
- Naveen Kaushik told Mamaraazzi, "She is extremely joyful when on set. When we met a few times, unhone kabhi yeh feeling nahi di ki woh star hai ya lead actress hai. It's like how we meet college friends, they come and tease you and ask, 'kaha the itne dino?' That also used to happen back and forth, the teasing."
- He continued, "She would be like, 'Kya Donga bhai naach nahi rahe ho', and I would say, bolenge naachne ko, and then she'll say, 'chalo nachwaate hai.' And I'll say, 'Nahi nahi, Hamza ko nachwata hoon. ( What'll Donga, you're not dancing?" and I'd say, "They'll tell to dance then..." and then she'd say, "Come on, let's make you dance." And I'd say, "No no, I'll make Hamza dance."
