Pulkit Samrat, who is sharing screen space with rumoured girlfriend Yami Gautam in yet another romantic film, says it's difficult to express love on screen.

Pulkit and Yami were seen romancing each other in "Sanam Re". The two have now teamed up again for another romantic film "Junooniyat".

"I think saying 'I love you' is the most difficult thing to do on screen and most boring thing to do off screen. On screen you have to put so much effort to say or do things in a such a way that it looks romantic, otherwise it might look fake. It's only the eyes that speak when it comes to express things," Pulkit told PTI.

"It is difficult to express love on screen as difficult it is to do a comedy or action film. There are other people on sets who help in making romance look good on screen," he said.

In the Vivek Agnihotri-directed movie, the 32-year-old actor plays the role of an Army officer.


"The uniform itself is so special. The respect and strength comes organically. There is a certain aura that the uniform has. People look at you differently, you walk and talk differently," he said.

"He (the role played by Pulkit) is a strong person who is ready to take bullet on his chest for his country, how passionate he can be with a woman he falls in love with. That is interesting," he said.

The "Fukrey" actor feels lucky to have shot the film in Army bases.

"We would like to thank Army people for all the help. Having access to Army people helped me in picking up some nuances from them," he said.

The love story produced by Bhushan Kumar is set to release on June 24.
