Delnaz Paul, the affable TV, theatre and film actress, just can't stop smiling.
It's been like that ever since director Hriday Shetty offered her a chance to work with her childhood idols Rishi Kapoor and Dimple
Kapadia in his new film "Pyaar Mein Twist".
"My earliest memory is of watching Rishi Kapoor in 'Hum Kissise Kam Nahin' while I was in senior KG. I have been his huge fan and I
told him that when I met him on the sets of 'Pyaar Mein Twist'.
"Unfortunately, I don't have any scenes with him as I play Dimple Kapadia's elder, pampered daughter, Dolly. She is married but stays
with her mum while Soha Ali Khan plays my younger sister. It was quite an experience working with Dimpleji and being in the same
film as Rishiji."
Delnaz says she feels blessed to have had the opportunity of working with big names like Jaya Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan in
Karan Johar's "Kal Ho Na Ho" and now "Pyar Mein Twist".
"I really feel great to have had the pleasure of working with top rated stars, see them work from close quarters and have some lovely
memories and moments," Delnaz maintained.
Meanwhile, Delnaz is bringing the roof down as the talkative and humorous Parsi housewife Gulshan Batliwalla, who keeps butting in
while her son Shahrukh Batliwalla keeps jabbering with his guests in Sony's "Batliwalla House No 43".
She's also seen in Paritosh Painter's comic play, "Paying Guest".
