Apparently, the actor makes it a point to acknowledge the hard work that he puts into ensuring her safety. “There have been times when Jalal has gone out of his way to avoid any mishap,” adds the source.
Jalal, who has been working with the actor for two years, is called Deepika’s ‘one-man army’ by her team members. “Deepika thought this was the best day to show him that she understands the efforts he puts into protecting her,” says the source.
