During the interaction, Nilu said, “We were shooting Break Ke Baad in Mauritius, and there was this huge bouquet which was there in the scene. It was around the evening and the bouquet was slowly withering. I was trying to water the bouquet so that it does not wither because of my love for plants. Then suddenly this voice says, ‘Who is this?’”

‘She actually looks like a goddess’

Break Ke Baad was a romantic comedy film that starred Deepika alongside Imran Khan. Released in 2010 the film was produced by Kunal Kohli under the banner of Kunal Kohli Productions, and directed by Danish Aslam.

Deepika was last seen in the sci-fi film Kalki 2898 AD, which also starred Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas and Disha Patani; and in Rohit Shetty's Singham Again. There is no official announcement on her next project so far.
