Delnaaz Irani Is The Sunshine On The Sets Says Yesha Rughani

-

MUMBAI: Actress Delnaaz Irani is a clear favourite when it comes to the sets of ‘Kabhi Kabhie Ittefaq Sey’. Actress Yesha Rughani, who shares the screen with her, says that the two share a great equation.

“Delnaaz is a darling. She is the sunshine of our set. Even when I have a dull day, when I see her face, it brings a bright smile to my face as well. She is an extremely giving, warm and fabulous person. I cannot stop learning from her in terms of acting and profession­alism.

“That level of learning is amazing. I’m so grateful that I’m learning so much from her.”

“Every time I see her perform, I’m in awe. I have seen her on the big screen and have always told her that when I saw you, I used to think of you as this adorable cute darling! And I used to relate a lot with her. I love her energetic vibe and I never thought that one day I would have the honour of working with her and sharing the screen with her,” she says.

She adds: “Being away from home, I’m so glad that I’ve this person in my life, on set, who is like family. And even Percy. So whenever they’re around, I feel

Hindi-belt cinemas for Hindi films first is no longer the norm. And, something unimaginab­le before, a never-before-kind-of case has happened. The dubbed versions of two South films, which released this past Friday, ‘Beast’ and ‘KGF: Chapter 2’ (in Tamil and Kannada languages, respective­ly), hit multiple screens in the Hindi belt, just like a big-banner Hindi film. Also, if a dubbed version manages to do good business in the Hindi heartland, why even think of a bilingual!

South films dubbed in Hindi releasing on a huge scale is not surprising anymore. That these dubbed films have been doing good business is a fact. That these films are posing a competitio­n for Hindi films is something that is bothering the Hindi film stars.

More so, because Hindi stars have never been able to gain so protected and loved and feel so warm. I would not like it if I don’t see her every day. I would want to see her and keep smiling because that is what she does. From small little gestures to big things, she does so much for me. So, I always say thank you to the almighty that this beautiful person came into my life and made it more beautiful.”

Talking about the equation they share, she says: “So there are so many small things that she does for me. From sending me appreciati­on messages when she sees me perform a good scene onscreen to coming on the set and saying a good morning, to sharing amazing food and amazing conversati­on in Gujarati.”

Meanwhile, Yesha, who plays the role of Gungun in the show, says that people have loved her in the show.

“People have showered so much love towards Gungun and I cannot decide which is the best compliment that I have got till date. People come up to me and they say that they love Gungun and I’m so overwhelme­d. So, each and every word and compliment is so dear. I cannot pick one,” she says. popularity in the South, save for in some areas such as the Nizam Circuit, which consists of the twin cities of HyderabadS­ecunderaba­d and Marathwada in Maharashtr­a (Hindi-speaking regions), besides cities like Bengaluru and Chennai. If a rare film worked, it was the film, and not because of the star it featured.

There have often been two major films vying for a certain opportune release date and often both did well solely on their merit.

There are also instances of one filmmaker altering the release date of his film if he felt the film stood a better chance as a solo release. In all this, a dubbed South film releasing simultaneo­usly with a Hindi film never bothered anybody. It posed no threat. No Hindi film release was ever shifted for fear of a dubbed movie.
