Mumbai, March 22 (Ians) Noorie was the film that gave me my actual launch and propelled me into me being recognised, and getting a certain amount of name, fame and acclaim. That role was so beautifully written by him. That character was really lovable and soft. He was there at our shoot, where we were shooting in this very isolated place called Bhaderwah in Jammu and Kashmir. He was fully involved in the film, in the dialogue and how a scene should be executed.

Bollywood has been around for a very long time for sure, but love has been around for longer. As much as Bollywood has somehow kept finding new ways to express love, whether that be the forbidden love of a rich man’s daughter all the way through to the love of another man/woman or in a love that dare not speak its own name because it takes the form of patriotism or religious fervour, love still out lasts Bollywood. So, on this Valentine’s day lets listen to a few different ways Bollywood has tried and failed to capture love over the years.
‘Aayega Aanewala’ – Mahal
Singer: Lata Mangeshkar – Composer: Khemchand Prakash
“He will come, he will come, he will come… for he is destined to come, so he will come.” That is the message of the first of our chosen songs… love is destined to happen. If you...

To stand out among a crowd, simply by being yourself has to be talent. To make an impact among seasoned actors, again without trying too hard, has to be the Grace of God.
In short, you are not only immensely talented but also blessed by His Grace. Kudos, to bringing alive the character of Noorie, the little lost kid, who finds her footing in love aboard a cruise-liner filled with manipulators.
It's rarely that we see an actor hit the right notes and come up trumps. It's even rare when it's a crowded scenario. Your performance in Dil Dhadakne Do has made an impact, which actually an actor gets on debut in a solo film.
The last time an actor in a crowd blasted us with her talent was Shriswara Dubey in D-day. In a crowded scenario she stood out flooring everyone, weaving her way into the role and the plot astutely.
