At first, it started off with work, but even after Miilee's assistant director Supriya Sharma left the show, she and Mona Miilee Vasu have been thick as thieves. Mona puts it down to their similar personalities. As vivacious as her character onscreen, Mona says Supriya is a "goonda" just like her – and "bindaas" to boot. "We love to hang out at Barista and lech at men," she laughs, "And we cover for each other when we get into trouble." Miilee controls best friend Khushi in the serial, but Mona admits that her relationship with her real life buddy is more equal. "She's the more sensible one." The two first got on as out-of-towners – Mona is from Delhi and Supriya from Pune, so whenever one got locked out, they bunked together. "We have this secret thing. When she stays over, we call spirits with a coin. We ask the spirit to spill details on whether our boyfriends are cheating on us." They loudly accuse each other of moving the coin around, but the moment Supriya goes back, Mona laughs that the two get spooked. Supriya moved on to assisting on Nagesh Kukunoor's Iqbal and Sujoy Ghosh's Home Delivery, but the two still hang with the same clique. They've known each other only for a year, but Mona says they bonded because they were flat mates for six months. "We like to chill, drinking beer and watching films." The two friends did have one serious argument though. "It got sorted out, but you should have seen the text messages we sent each other! I even wrote letters and my boyfriend asked me, 'Is that your husband?' In fact, the big joke in the gang is that we're lesbians, but we just find it too funny. I remember her threatening to dump her film at that time and go back to Pune. I told her, 'If you get on that bus, I'll never see your face again.' It was all very filmi," says Mona. And even if they're not heavily into gift-giving, Mona says that the two have the same taste and know instinctively what the other person wants. "Or we demand it! Whenever she goes down to Pune, I make her get me Osho kurtas and chappals."
