Looking back on the making of the film, Kalki fondly recalled her connection with Ranbir Kapoor, with whom she had a strong bond on set. Though they don’t stay in regular contact, the memories of their camaraderie during filming remain fresh. Kalki also shared a mischievous anecdote from the shoot, revealing how she and Deepika Padukone would team up to prank the boys. One particularly memorable moment occurred during the haldi scene, where a harmless dab of haldi turned into Ranbir smearing an entire bowl of it on Kalki’s face, creating a hilarious moment that even made it into the final cut.
