Jai Bhanushali (Neev from Kayamath) has worked with Saif Ali Khan in 5 ads and shares some of his interesting experiences with star on Saif's 37th birthday (Aug 16).
Says Jai, "I and Saif are like friends now as we have shot a few ads together. Recently we were in Hyderabad at Ramoji Film City where we shot for the new Lays ad. He doesn't have any attitude and is fun working with. He is also a fitness freak."
Narrating an experience Jai says, "I remember our shooting used to start early in the morning and finish late in the night. Despite this at 6 am, he used to come to my room and take me along for jogging. He used to do it for an hour, which was really tough for me. I remember while talking he used to discuss his heart problems and tell me not to smoke."
Any other ad with Saif in the future? "Yeah, the audience will find me and Saif in more Lays commercials!"
Saif apart, there is also a buzz that you have signed a Nikhil Advani film?" Let it remain a buzz. Kayamath consumes a lot of my time and that's enough for now. Nikhil is a very good friend of mine and I have also done a few of his ads. That's it."
The actor cheekily adds, "Kayamath and Lays provide me good bread and butter."
