So in a way, it was in my interest not to talk to her,” he shared, further adding that this also helped him stay in character better.While sharing about Saif Ali Khan, he revealed, “In ‘Jewel Thief’, it was all fun and absolutely memorable. So we had a lot of fun there. Both of them are very beautiful people, and I had a lot of fun working with them.”
