The Veer-Zara actress is not quite on her home- ground shooting for her first farce-fest Hello Darling with Javed Jaffrey, Celina Jaitley, Gul Panag and Isha Koppiker.

"It's tough because I've never done comedy before, and that too comedy in this riotous rhythm. Yeah, the sur and spirits are high. It's one of those wacky loud comedies that seem so much in favour these days.I'm having fun. But I hope I'm doing it right."

Divya has discovered an unlikely ally and comrade in her endeavour to be funny in Hello Darling.

"Issha Koppiker is so much fun. And she has done this kind of a comedy before. Remember Kya Kool Hain Hum in which she played this loud, motor-mouthed paan-chewing cop?

Isha knows the boisterous sur and how to uthao it. I really enjoy bonding with her on the sets. She makes sure my spirits are high and the laughter is on even when the camera is off."

So who says two actresses can't be friends? Divya herself had a nightmarish time with co-actress Ayesha Jhulka on during the making of J.P Dutta's Umrao Jaan.

Divya laughs off the memory-jog.

"One experience can't sour my attitude to my co-stars. Apart from Ayesha every actress I've worked with has been a dream, whether it was Preity in Veer-Zara, Madhuri and Konkona in Aaja Nachle, Aishwarya in Umrao Jaan, Sonam Kapoor in Dilli 6 (she's a sweetheart) or Isha in Hello Darling.

But my favourite co-star is Kamini Kaushal with whom I did the serial Shanno Ki Shaadi. We became close friends thereafter. Though I'm so much younger to her, we really bonded."
