  • "I think I have made a friend for life and I think that's what I cherished the most, because he is a wonderful human being and that comes across on screen. We got along really well," said Padukone.

Working together in director Pradeep Sarkar's forthcoming film Lafange Parindey, actress Deepika Padukone has found a friend for life in Neil Nitin Mukesh.

Mukesh once went out of his way to do her make-up personally, which was somewhat different, required for an accident scene.

"I think I have made a friend for life and I think that's what I cherished the most, because he is a wonderful human being and that comes across on screen. We got along really well," said Padukone.

"There is an accident scene, where I need a different kind of make-up and he is trained in it so he told dada [Pradeep Sarkar] that he will do my make-up and he did. Another day where I was doing... not exactly an action sequence, but lot of cable work and all of that, he choreographed the entire act. So I think in every way he was there for me.

"I can confidently say that he has been the most supportive and encouraging co-star, with whom I have worked so far. Even on days when he was not required, he would be there," Padukone added.
