In 2010, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Deepika Padukone's movie Lafangey Parindey hit the screens, but it didn't do well in the box-office. However, the lead pair's friendship started blooming ever since.

Deepika also said that Neil did her make-up one day. ''Honestly, I think Neil is the most giving actor I have worked with. I can definitely say that he is most supportive. He puts me before himself. There are days when it's an important scene for him too, but he would be there to support me and worry about my performance,'' she said.
