Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra co-star in a romantic comedy, Hasee Toh Phasee. The origin of their film’s title is actually a dialogue exchange between Salman Khan and Kajol in the Bollywood movie, Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya. So much of the acting in a romantic comedy is the chemistry between the actors and how they emote with the most mundane dialogues. And that’s what they spoke about when they appeared on The Front Row. So, here’s an excerpt from their conversation with Anupama Chopra.
Anupama Chopra: What is your favourite dialogue from a romantic film? Parineeti Chopra: Anything from DDLJ (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge). Bade shehron mein aisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hain. Clichéd, but evergreen.
Anupama Chopra: For you, Sidharth?
Sidharth Malhotra: In K3G (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham), I love the way the couple fights. When they go to London in K3G, and SRK is scolding he says, “Chandni Chowk ke saare pagal mere ghar mein hain. How they talk, how they fight, I think it’s very cute. I love that in their chemistry. I think it’s amazing. They are the only couple who can pull that off. They look like people who have been living together. Because those are the stupid things you would do. It’s the intimacy that you would have with somebody and talk rubbish, joke around and be cute. I think it’s amazing.
Parineeti Chopra: Yes, if you think about it, on paper, if I read any of those scenes, you feel what a ridiculous scene.
Sidharth Malhotra: Those scenes were not made on paper, they do it on sets. It’s amazing.Watch “The Front Row with Anupama Chopra” today at 8:30 pm on Star World for the full conversation with Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra.
