Prachi does a Dimple

There is a song in which Emraan and his girlfriend (played by Prachi Desai) watch Bobby and Emraan gifts her Dimple’s outfit.

It’s a passionate sequence which has Emraan and Prachi getting drawn to each other. Initially, the demure Prachi was reluctant to wear the bold outfit but director Milan Luthria managed to convince her.

Says Prachi, “Emraan is called Shoaib in the film. I play his conservative Muslim girlfriend Mumtaaz. Bobby was a big hit at the time the movie was set in. Shoaib is inspired by multiple real life personalities and has a fascination with Dimple’s Bobby persona. Hence, Emraan is seen gifting me outfits due to his fascination with Bobby.”

Prachi says she was hesitant initially. “Dimple looked so gorgeous. So I didn’t want to be compared to her but Milan convinced me. In fact, Milan gave us a month to work on our bodies for the song. While he wanted Emraan to flaunt a six-pack in the song, he wanted me to tone down my body.”

She adds, “The scenes were shot over few months. Emraan is one of my favourite co-stars and I am most comfortable with him. I was clear we wouldn't kiss, though.”
