Pakhi
Tyrewala
is
nervous
but
also
relieved.
Her
big
preparation
(script
writing)
is
done,
the
exams
have
been
written
(shooting),
notes
exchanged
(her
colleagues
tell
her
that
she
has
done
well)
and
now
its
time
for
the
results
to
be
out
(the
film
releases
today).
No
wonder,
Pakhi
feels
that
it
is
back
to
graduation
time
with
her
film
Jhootha
Hi
Sahi,
where
she
has
given
three
years
of
her
life
and
is
now
waiting
for
the
verdict.
As
she
talks
to
this
correspondent
about
her
big
moment,
one
can
also
sense
that
there
is
a
child-like
quality
in
her,
which
only
makes
her
further
endearing
and
loveable.
Really,
she
comes
across
as
someone
who
can't
do
anything
wrong.
Credit
it
to
the
persona
that
she
is
wearing,
may
be
'jhootha
hi
sahi'!
Pakhi,
the
big
moment
has
finally
arrived.
What
kind
of
things
went
in
your
mind
when
you
actually
started
working
in
the
film?
When
you
are
so
busy
and
submerged
in
first
writing
and
then
acting,
you
don't
actually
think
about
the
consequences.
All
I
was
concentrating
on
was
whether
I
was
being
true
to
every
single
scene.
Of
course,
now
that
the
shooting
is
over
and
the
film
is
releasing,
there
is
a
fear
factor
involved
as
well.
I
am
anxious
to
know
whether
I
have
done
justice
to
the
film,
whether
people
are
going
to
like
it.
You
seem
to
be
going
through
that
typical
nervous
bout
that
happens
to
every
new
actor...
(Laughs)
Yeah,
all
of
it
reminds
me
of
my
younger
days
when
I
used
to
write
for
exams.
You
believe
that
you
have
answered
your
questions
well.
You
do
expect
5
out
of
5
but
then
lower
your
expectation
to
make
it
4
out
of
5.
You
know
what...
is
the
most
traumatic
part
about
filmmaking?
It
is
the
waiting
period.
Acting
is
easy
but
then
you
want
the
film
to
release
and
get
over
it.
Achcha
ya
bura...
but
now
you
want
to
gauge
audience
reactions.
People
are
so
used
to
seeing
glamour
on
screen
while
I
am
playing
this
fully
clothed
girl
next
door.
We
believe
that
all
of
it
has
come
out
really
well
but
then
audience
acceptance
is
a
different
ball
game
altogether.
Exams
are
over;
it's
time
to
see
the
results
now.
But
then
reactions
to
the
talkie
promos
have
been
good
after
all.
So,
why
so
much
fear?
You
know,
during
the
promotion
of
the
film,
you
travel
all
over
and
don't
quite
get
the
right
perspective.
Of
course
people
say
nice
things
but
then
you
do
tend
to
get
skeptical
about
the
entire
affair.
When
people
say
that
things
are
looking
fantastic
in
the
film,
you
want
to
believe
them
but
then
still
tend
to
take
it
all
with
a
pinch
of
salt.
You
feel
that
they
are
saying
so
because
either
they
are
friends
or
families
or
they
want
to
be
nice
to
you.
It's
only
when
absolute
strangers
come
and
compliment
you
for
your
film
that
you
start
getting
much
more
confident.
You
want
to
believe
that
they
are
really
being
honest.
Ok,
I
will
tell
you
something
honestly.
The
look
of
Jhootha
Hi
Sahi
is
standing
out
from
the
crowd.
(Smiles)
I
am
glad
that
you
mention
this.
All
credit
goes
to
Abbas
(Tyrewala)
for
this.
He
was
the
one
who
was
so
sure
that
he
didn't
want
London
to
come
across
as
a
tourist
place
all
over
again.
He
wanted
to
show
it
as
a
city
where
these
characters
have
been
living
for
long,
have
been
working
here
every
day,
know
the
joints
and
the
stations,
the
works.
He
wanted
to
keep
the
look
of
the
film
real,
believable
and
beautiful.
He
had
done
the
same
in
Jaane
Tu…
Ya
Jaane
Naa
as
well
where
Mumbai
was
seen
as
never
before.
In
the
film,
John
too
is
looking
like
never
before.
Seems
like
quite
some
effort
went
into
making
that
possible
as
well.
It
was
essential
to
make
John
(Abraham)
look
like
Sid,
the
character
that
he
plays
in
the
film.
Right
from
his
walk
to
the
overall
body
language
to
the
mannerisms
and
the
clothes
that
he
wears
had
to
be
designed
pretty
meticulously.
Since
neither
his
nor
my
character
belonged
to
the
elite,
we
couldn't
be
shown
wearing
designer
clothes.
On
the
contrary,
Sid's
girlfriend
(played
by
Mansi
Scott)
wears
fashionable
and
designer
clothes
which
were
really
expensive
since
she
belonged
to
that
income
zone.
Talking
about
your
pairing
with
John,
right
through
the
making
of
the
film
there
were
these
news
bytes
floating
around
how
he
was
a
little
apprehensive
working
with
you
since
you
were
director's
wife.
Tell
me
something
new
(laughs).
I
keep
hearing
this
week
after
week
and
really,
I
have
no
clue
where
did
this
one
came
from.
It
is
all
the
more
puzzling
since
it
was
John's
idea
to
cast
me
in
the
film.
Though
Abbas
was
clear
about
this
from
the
very
beginning,
that
he
didn't
want
to
rope
me
in
as
an
actor.
John
was
convinced,
especially
so
after
I
was
through
reading
the
script
to
him.
Again,
Abbas
wasn't
initially
open
to
the
idea
(laughs).
This
is
where
John
managed
to
talk
him
into
this.
He
asked
Abbas
to
be
fair
to
his
film
and
the
characters
rather
than
bringing
his
personal
equation
with
me.
Thank
goodness
for
that;
it
was
due
to
John
that
I
am
now
being
seen
opposite
him
in
the
film.
