Now
this
was
an
event
like
none
before.
The
stars
of
the
forthcoming
film
Lafangey
Parindey
namely
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
and
Deepika
Padukone
interacted
with
their
fans
in
a
unique
Meet-n-Greet
event
held
at
Yash
Raj
Studios.
The
fans
were
the
winners
of
a
contest.
The
highlight
of
the
evening
was
the
set
which
was
created
at
Yash
Raj
Studios,
an
exact
replica
of
the
Tilak
Wadi
set
where
the
film
Lafangey
Parindey
is
based.
So
you
had
your
favourite
tea
stall,
neighbourhood
saloon,
and
stalls
selling
yummy
delicacies
just
like
you
would
find
in
a
typical
Wadi.
The
evening
began
with
some
professional
bikers
pulling
off
some
really
dare-devil
stunts
much
to
the
audiences'
delight.
This
was
followed
by
a
performance
by
singers
Suraj
Jaggan
and
Shilpa
Rao,
who
sang
popular
numbers
from
Lafangey
Parindey.
In
fact
during
Shilpa's
performance,
two
dancers
did
the
ballet
on
roller-skates.
Quite
amazing!
Then
came
the
moment
everyone
was
waiting
for.
The
star
pair
of
Lafangey
Parindey-
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
and
Deepika
Padukone
finally
arrived
to
a
loud
and
thunderous
applause.
They
were
joined
by
the
group
of
actors
who
play
their
buddies
in
the
film.
After
a
brief
interaction
with
the
contest
winners,
Neil
and
Deepika
danced
to
the
tunes
of
the
chartbuster
'Dhatad
Tatad'.
The
surprise
however
was
when
the
contest
winners
too
joined
them
on
stage
to
shake
a
leg
to
this
foot-tapping
number.
Director
Pradeep
Sarkar
then
made
a
dramatic
entry
atop
a
segway
and
interacted
with
the
crowd
and
spoke
about
his
film.
Finally,
it
was
time
for
Neil
and
Deepika
to
leave
but
not
before
they
posed
with
the
contest
winners
for
photographs.
