One Shot Nandu and Pinky Palkar talk Lafangey Parindey
By Filmicafe.com, 28 July 2010

Deepika, how was your experience working with Neil?
Deepika: Working with Neil was torturous. He is so rude and selfish, always wanting to take his shots first. He's a pain! Ok joking.

Honestly, I think Neil is the most giving actor I have worked with. I can definitely say that he is most supportive. He puts me before himself.

There are days when it's an important scene for him too, but he would be there to support me and worry about my performance.

There is a scene in the film, for which I needed different type of make up. He is trained in different types of make up and actually did my make up that day. So I can say that both professionally and personally, Neil has been there for me. I think I have a friend for life!

Neil: that's so sweet!

Deepika: awwww moment! Don't cry Neil, don't cry!

Neil: She is one person who gets a certain amount of energy when she's around you. Her smile is just awesome! With the loveliest dimples! Her one smile puts everything straight. It's such an honour to work with such a beautiful human being and a great friend.

How was the experience with Dada (Pradeep Sarkar, the director)?
Neil: Dada makes an audio board of his entire film. We would initially never understand why he would do so much detailing before the shoot. We instantly understood the entire film, our characters with so much depth. We actually lived the film before we went and shot it.

Deepika: For a good 6 months, we lived our characters. We had started our readings, we knew our dialogues by heart, we knew which scenes came after which scene. That was only because of Dada's way of shooting that helped us so much!

How was it working with YRF?
Neil: I have always maintained this. YRF is like home to me.

I have learnt a lot from them since childhood. I was an assistant director here at YRF. I got my first big hit New York, Kabir Khan and his team. I have worked with the best team in New York. They groomed me, moulded me and embedded a certain culture in me.

Deepika: For me, while I was growing up, the one or two Yashraj Films that were released were the films that my family and me used to look forward to.

I have grown up watching Yashji's films, Adi's films. And now to be part of the YRF family starting with Bachna Ae Haseeno. It was really a dream come true. I remember the day Bachna released Adi came up to me and said "I owe you one". He said that because he really liked my work in that film.

And for a long time I never heard from him. And I was a little disheartened. And then like I said he called me and Lafangey happened.
