Mumbai: Director Ken Ghosh says that Genelia D`Souza, who plays female lead in his forthcoming film `Chance Pe Dance`, came to meet him post midnight mass on Christmas to see the final cut of the movie.
At midnight on Thursday Ghosh finished editing and post-production of `Chance Pe Dance` and was feeling like sharing the moment with his lead pair. The film`s lead actor Shahid Kapoor was unavailable. On an impulse he called up Genelia.
"And guess what? She agreed to come down to Pixion in Bandra where I was editing straight from midnight mass which was in a church nearby. I never thought she`d do this, what with Christmas being an important day in her home. But she did," Ghosh told reporters.
"But then Genelia has been hands-on with this project, almost like a part of the production team.
"Even I was supposed to be back home with my wife and kids for Christmas, opening gifts. But since it was the final day of post-production, I had no way of avoiding work even on Christmas. I really wanted to share that moment with my actors," said Ghosh.
Genelia`s enthusiasm for the editing and post-production of `Chance Pe Dance` was due to her proximity to the project in more ways than one.
"Genelia lives down the road from Pixion where we edited `Chance Pe Dance`. And her gym is in the same building as Pixion. So throughout the editing and post-production Genelia has been dropping in. But on Christmas night she outdid herself," said the director.
"Before she left, she gave me the best Christmas gift ever. A big hug. Throughout the shooting of `Chance Pe Dance` she has been our sunshine girl. So much so that when she wasn`t on the sets all of us would actually get depressed and perk up the minute she came back," he said.
