, Goswami says, “The film is a love story revolving around Deepika and Imran’s character. My role is in context to the story and I don’t see any reason why I should be promoted in the first place. It defeats the whole purpose.” Goswami plays a feisty Nadia who runs a paying guest accommodation along with her brother Cyrus (played by VJ Yudi) in Australia. During their break-up Deepika’s (Padukone) and Imran’s (Khan) characters stay at her house.

Goswami says her character is very pragmatic but seemingly cold. “She has been jilted in life emotionally, so she has become sarcastic,” says Goswami, who views the couple’s relationship objectively as a third person. “She would call a spade a spade. Sometimes, people hide behind a different lingo and labels thinking that they have moved beyond the emotions of the past relationship. You need someone to come and show you how it works or what the other person is feeling.”

VJ Yudi, who plays Cyrus, provides comic relief in the film. “While Nadia is feisty and righteous, Cyrus is her complete opposite and is always messing things up,” Yudi says about his character. He adds, “I turn the house into a party. Everyday, there’s a new girl coming home. It’s a riot.”
