While one often hears about cat fights on the sets where two actresses are working together, on the sets of Dedh Ishqiya it was a different story. Madhuri Dixit and Huma Qureshi bonded big time while shooting for the film.
Says a source from the sets, `Huma's maximum scenes are with Madhuri since they play best friends in the film. Madhuri made the young actress feel pretty much at ease and the two got along like a house on fire.
Adds the source, `When not shooting they would spend time solving crosswords and co-actor Naseeruddin Shah would also join in. They would all compare who had solved more of the cryptic clues.`
The biggest bonding, however, was on the Rajasthani dal and Khooba roti. `While shooting in Rajasthan, the two bonded on the local fare which the entire team used to gorge on,` the source informs.
Incidentally, Huma has been a huge Madhuri fan since she was a kid and always admired her beauty and acting. Working with her was a huge opportunity for the Gangs of Wasseypur actress.
