Deepika was a nervous wreck on the sets of 'Aarakshan'Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone are paired opposite each other in Prakash Jha's 'Aarakshan'. And Deepika nearly had a nervous breakdown on the first day of shoot. The cast and crew were shooting at a college campus in Bihar. Aarakshan is Deepika's first film with Prakash Jha, who has a unique style of working. If that wasn't bad enough, the crowd of students made Deepika feel nervous.
A unit member stated, "Initially, everything seemed to be in control. We were shooting solo shots of Deepika in the campus, and there weren't too many students around. Gradually, they started streaming in, and before we knew it the crowd was in hundreds. Deepika got a little anxious, and jittery, but was much at ease when Saif joined her on the sets."
Saif Ali Khan, who is a more senior actor, seems to have got Deepika to relax and breathe easy. Well, Saif has surely faced this ball before. As for Deepika, it was a lesson well learnt. She gradually started interacting with the students, and even began enjoying the shoot, while the camera just kept rolling.
