She is a dream for a director," Kapoor told reporters in a group interview.<br /><br />"She never looks into mirror or monitor and always trusts the crew on sets. I am thankful to Tabu who stepped in at the last moment and got into the skin of the character within three to four days," added the filmmaker.<br /><br />Kapoor, who has widely shot "Fitoor" in Kashmir, says he was very clear that he wanted to shoot this film in that state.<br /><br />"Many people told me not to shoot in Kashmir and gave me the option to shoot either in Himachal or abroad, but Kashmir has a different beauty altogether.
