Ram and Shefali have been friends for long and have worked together on numerous occasions. Ram Kapoor shares his shooting experience with Shefali in his own words, “It is always amazing to work with Shefali, I have worked with her 2-3 times before and we get along really well. She’s an absolute darling of a person, a total goofball, you know, she’s a lot of fun when the camera’s not rolling in! And I also tend to have a lot of fun when I work. So, we have a lot of fun, pulling each other’s leg or playing pranks on somebody else. And that’s the best way to work because you keep it light-hearted, you know, so you do serious work, but in between, you try and have a little fun, I believe. That’s the best way to work.”
We are sure that their off-screen friendship will work wonders as they team up together to bring an amazing act for viewers.
