Meenakshi Seshadri’s on-screen pairing with Sunny Deol was quite loved. The yesteryear actor recently spoke about the understanding she had with Sunny. She even narrated an incident from the movie Dacait where the Gadar 2 actor made her feel extremely comfortable.

Narrating the incident, Meenakshi told Zoom TV, “My first movie with Sunny Deol was Dacait/ I played a village girl wearing dark make-up. We had a romantic scene where we were both on a boat before the song and we had a kissing scene. It was nerve-wracking because I am a little conservative. After my first film Painter Babu, where I wore pretty revealing clothes, I didn’t feel like repeating that. A kiss was pretty extreme. The shot never was seen by the audience because the censor board cut it.”

She added, “But why I am saying this is because…Sunny is a gentleman. He was so relaxed and easy to work with and made the scene smooth. That’s the reason why in all the other movies Ghayal, Ghatak, and Damini that I did with him, we had a very good equation and understanding with each other.”
