I have worked with Shahid and Ayesha Takia in Paathshala. Shahid is one of my favourite actors. It was my dream to dance with him. While shooting for the film, the dream came true. He is the best. Shahid even used to teach some dance steps to us.

BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Ayesha Takia
What matters is that today Aftab (Shivdasani), Ayesha (Takia), Rimi (Sen) and myself have given De Taali their 100% and made sure that we go by our director E Niwas' vision. Of course when we got started, we all believed that the film would be wrapped up in quick time. But then a slight glitch here and there and things went a little haywire.

Neha was quite a sport when she was approached to be a part of De Taali. She willingly agreed even though she is quite busy and her career has been on a constant rise. Ayesha Takia and Rimi Sen are the leading heroines in the film but Neha didn't mind being a part of the project as she found her cameo appearance to be quite interesting.

Quotes from articles mentioning Ayesha Takia
I feel that Indian culture is so beautiful and people all around the world look up to us and want to see how elegant and how delicate and traditional our women are, and have been for generations, and we shouldn't let that go. We should try and keep our culture at some level...it's important to be Indian women at some level where people look up to us.

No I wouldn't, as I said my rules don't change depending on who is offering what. They've always been the same. Obviously my audience like the way I am. I'm not saying I'm going out there wearing a burqa but I'm not going to cross the limit to where people wouldn't want to see my face anymore…. I'm really scared of that.
