The gorgeous 22-year-old actress was literally picked up from the streets of Delhi by the director

When 22-year-old Mansha Behl stepped out on a shopping jaunt recently on the streets of Delhi, little did she imagine landing a role in Kabir Sadanand's upcoming film. The director also happened to be in the capital at the same time and upon spotting Mansha approached her for his next.

A source close to the Akshay Kumar-Ashwini Yardi production says, `Kabir was in Delhi to scout the locations for his film when he spotted her. She was arguing with a shop-owner and lost her cool when Kabir approached her, thinking he was trying to flirt.`

It was only after the director made her look him up on the Internet that she decided to consider his offer. Says Kabir, `The first thing I did after seeing her was to ask for her number. Her scathing look made me take two steps behind. She finally realised who I was.`
