Gere or Branson, it’s Richard again!
Richard Gere has competition. He is no longer the only one to twist and twirl around Bollywood actresses and give them pecks on the cheek .
Branson entered the reckoning when he shot with Neha Dhupia for a 16-minute film. He twisted her and twirled her, so much so that Neha’s skirt went akimbo. She also got a kiss for all that!
Says Neha, “It was a great experience meeting Richard Branson. In fact, I caught up with him on the rehearsal day prior to the actual event. It was very tiring that day but Richard was so humble and stayed on till 1.30 am. After a while, I walked up to him and asked him whether he was feeling tired. He smiled and told me that he would go on with the rehearsals.”
So, how much does the man know about Bollywood? “He told me that he has seen many big hoardings of a Bollywood superstar but he doesn’t know his name!” Neha says.
Now getting back to the story, how did the skirt-akimbo episode happened? “I had to perform a six-minute role in the 16-minute film which I was shooting with Richard. We had rehearsed the song Aaj ki raat but not on the next song Mauja hi mauja. So, when we got on the stage for the Mauja hi mauja song, I was very unsure how Richard would dance. But soon he charged on the sta1ge, did some smart bhangra steps and hugged me. Next I knew, he lifted me in his arms and twirled me around. For a few seconds, I just didn’t realize what was going on. I was completely shocked and also didn’t know when my skirt went upside down,” she says.
But Neha sees it as a fun act and doesn’t want it to be blown out of proportion. “I have taken the whole incident in the right spirit and I don’t think there was any harm caused to anyone. I would like to dance with him once again, but this time I will make sure that I am wearing trousers,” she laughs.
