She said, "At first, he never used to talk much, so I used to think he was going to bite you or something like that. But actually, he turned out to be a complete sweetheart, and he taught me chess. So I have to thank him for that. Seriously, we had an amazing time on the film, and Saif had said it yesterday, but I think he's one of the finest actors around right now. I've learnt a lot working with him. He's a great guy."
