Actress Elli Avram, who essays a love interest of comedian-actor Kapil Sharma in his debut Bollywood film "Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon", says he made her go through a laugh riot while shooting for the film.

"He made me laugh so many times that I was getting teary and my make-up artist had to come every time to do my touch up! It was good fun and I loved it," Elli told IANS of her experience of shooting with the "Comedy Nights With Kapil" star.

She also recollected an instance when while shooting a scene, she was supposed to be a little upset with his character, but all she could do was only laugh.

"I had to hold that mood (upset mood) in the beginning. Just before the shoot, he suddenly started to make those (funny) faces and said a line in a funny way... and I was like 'Can you please stop it? I'm going to laugh... how will I come into the serious mode?'."

Nevertheless, she finds Kapil to be "very talented, supportive, kind and has done a great job".

She's also all praise for the film's director duo Abbas-Mustan.

"Even our directors Abbas-Mastan sir are so positive, humble and nice people... I was like 'Are we shooting a movie or are we just chilling and having fun?'"

The Sweden-born actress made her debut with "Mickey Virus", and she is especially "happy" that she has worked on her Hindi speaking skills.

"I'm very happy for the fact that I've learnt the (Hindi) language now because and that trained me to be more to be quicker," she said the actress, who has reportedly bagged a role in "Housefull 3".

But choosing not to talk about it, she said: "There is nothing that is confirmed as yet for 'Housefull 3'. So, I don't have clarity... that I can share regarding my next project."
