'Kareena is wonderful to work with'

'Kareena is wonderful to work with'

Of late, Neha Dhupia seems to be doing a lot of comedies. After Kya Kool Hain Hum and Garam Masala, her next, Chup Chup Ke, starring Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor, is also aimed at making the audience laugh. Priyanka Jain asked the pretty actress about her funny bone. Some excerpts: What is your role in Chup Chup Ke?

The tagline is 'Love meets confusion meets love.' I am the confusion in the film. Kareena's character cannot speak in the film and Shahid's chooses not to! And I am this crazy cousin of hers called Meenakshi who is an interpreter between the two. I create all the madness and get to say all the crazy lines in the film. I am one of the comedy factors.

Tell us about your experience working with Priyadarshan.

After Garam Masala, this is the second time I am working with Priyadarshan in a comic role. When he told me he wanted to do a second film with me, I was flattered to be considered again. It's been great working with him. He understands and believes in me. What was your relationship with Kareena on the sets?

Kareena is a wonderful person to work with. We had a great bonding on and off the sets. While we were not shooting she would constantly talk, as her role required her to be silent. It was fun to have Sushma Reddy as well. We have become good buddies.

And what about Shahid?

He is a perfect gentleman on and off the sets. On the sets, Shahid was always busy preparing for his role or he would joke with all of us.

It was great working with both young and old actors who understand cinema. It's hilarious to watch Pareshji (Rawal) and Rajpal (Yadav) perform. They are so bang-on with the comedy bit. I learnt a great deal from them.

What else are you working on?

I will be shooting for Sivaji Productions' Delhi Heights opposite Jimmy Shergill, directed by Anand Kumar. The film is about three couples who live in an apartment [building] called Delhi Heights. Jimmy and I work in rival companies and have a lot of differences. The film is about how we fall in love despite working for rival companies, work out our differences and our future.

im lukin forward to watching da film
