As per the scene, I was not supposed to eat that Bhalla, but I was so tempted that I actually couldn't resist eating one. As soon as I'd put one in my mouth, the taste was so bad that I threw it out. This was not a part of the script, but it actually turned out to be so funny that Shahid who was looking at me at that time and laughed a lot. On the other hand, the whole set too burst with laughter."
