In an exclusive interview with India TodayAmeesha recalled how the sequence shook her to the core as she prepared for a confrontation scene with Puri.
She said, “That confrontation scene was my very first scene in The bridgeand it was opposite Amrish ji. I was s***ting bricks. I was shivering. But it was so amazing to work with him. He made it so easy for me. He never made me feel like he was this super accomplished actor and I was just some silly newcomer. Nobody knew about Say no… I love you then; it was still under production.”
In addition, she revealed that despite portraying roles such as Mogambo and Ashraf Ali, the veteran actor had an edgy sense of humour and a witty personality.
