IQ-Neha interview in large fonts.

He is yummmm....she is ummmmmmmmmm, together they set the screen ablaze!

GR8! is awitness to how many heads he compelled to turn when we were out on shoot at Bandstand.Not only girls and women...even the guys.A bunch of guys- 6 of them- actually stopped the car and claimed that they had met him earlier.What was most disarming was that he acknowledged each smile and signed autographs for the swooning young girls - just like Kripa in the serial Kaisa Yeh Pyar Hai smitten by Angad.

And she? She had the guys calling out to her "Krip, Kripa"(her screen name).She very sweetly signed autographs for the enthu crowd.Iqbal Khan plays the Rockstar Angad and Neha Bamb the small town girl Kripa totally and absolutely besotted by him in Kaisa Ye Pyar Hai.We catch up with the couple 24 hours before going into print.It was worth all the chase and persistence to check out the spark between the two.

Nitica darling are u typing this out...how sweet of you...all they need to do is cut and paste the picture on their desktop and zoom in with the magnifier on the picture editor for your computer...

Thanks Nitica Di. So sweet of you.

GR8! :"Your first reaction when you came to know that you have to romance each-other, strangers that you were?"

IQBAL :"No, I didn't know her ...but that didn't matter as an actor, when it comes to your profession, it doesn't matter who you are with .The only problem first time I met her was when I saw her, I thought there was a lot of height difference."

NEHA:" Even I thought I would have to work with the ladder.

GR8!:" So, how did you overcome that?"

IQBAL: "She stands on a patiya(stool)."

NEHA: "Thanks for embarassing me....I am happy with my height...you are extra tall....what can I do?"

IQBAL :" Why,I'm normal. I am 6ft."

NEHA : " Even I am normal...5'4 and a half.When I first came to know that I am cast against him, he was in a different kind of get-up- weird goatee, spiked and gelled purple hair , three ear-rings, four chains,more like a punk than a rockstar."

IQBAL : " Quite like Bappi Lahiri..."

NEHA : " How could they make him look so weird?"

IQBAL : " Finally, they changed my look."

NEHA : " Thank God, It's more normal."

Nitica, my jaan u do beautiful work...such a darling sweetie

Aww Nitu, So Sweet of you to type the whole thing out for us.

Heres a hug for you. 🤗 🤗

GR8 : " When did you warm up to each-other?"

IQBAL : "We started with the title sequence first, in Mahabaleshwar, that's the time when we were only shooting and we got a lot of time together , we were eating together, no choice but to interact! Otherwise, I don't open up to people as soon as I meet them - some people call me snob."

NEHA : " My permanent name is "BRAT".


GR8! : " Your first shot together?"

IQBAL : " It was in Mahabaleshwar where we were totally in character , the scene in which she is typically the small-town girl and I'm a rockstar brat , it was about the signature step that we are quite used to now.I was supposed to hold her and get her down."

NEHA : "The title Montage shot."

GR8!:" In that you seem have to have perfect chemistry."

IQBAL : " We must be fabulous actors."

TO BE CONTINUED..........

nitu dee so sweet but u can also use the OCR software or some think like that !

GR8 : " Your first romantic scene ?"

NEHA : " Jacket?...you said only one word."

IQBAL : "That wasn't a romantic scene!And i am supposed to be drunk in that.No way, that's not a romantic shot."

NEHA : " There's a lot of romance in the air because I - no, Kripa is in love with him , she's got to pinch herself that she is actually meeting him for the first time."

IQBAL : "The first romantic scene was when we were on the bike in Goa, it was raining, it was shot by Jeetu Arora with whom we have great comfort level.It was the first time Kripa meets Angad in the Outhouse.It was a natural scene where two young people meet and they know they have a liking for each-other.It was a little bit of naughtiness and shyness.There was a lot of contrast between the two- Angad is more open, Kripa is more shy."

GR8 : " One thing you like about each-other?"

IQBAL : "Mmmmmm...I like the car!hahaahaa..she's very friendly."

NEHA : "O, I am abig brat and I know that, don't I know that?And what I really like about him is his patience and I'm a very impatient person.If he could just lend me 10% of his patience, I'll be really happy."

TO BE CONTINUED.........

GR8! : "One thing you dislike about each-other?"

IQBAL : "Dhyaan se jawaab dena.Roz milna padta hai...!"

NEHA : " He doesn't eat veg food that I love - he is forever eating non-veg khana.I've a habit of digging into othetr people's khaan but he never eats veg food."

IQBAL : "Nazar lagi hai mujhe issi ki, I tell you! I was in the hospital because of the stomach problem.One thing I don't like about her is that she is a vegetarian! Ha!"

NEHA : "Cm'on! Be serious yaar! Tell her frankly waht you've told me so many times...!"

IQBAL : "I hate her weird ring-tones...."

NEHA : " These are punjabi bidaayi songs...how emotional can I be in life..."

IQBAL : "Mmmmmmmmmm...O , ya. She drives like a mad woman, as if there's no one on the road.Words like the rear-view mirror, side-view mirror do not exist in her dictionary.And when I tell her to be careful, she says, Abhi tak to kucch nahiin hua na..."
