Neil is Deepika Padukone's man for all seasons

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.
