Actress Deeksha Seth says she expected her co-star Armaan Jain to hog all the limelight in their debut Hindi film 'Lekar Hum Deewana Dil' and feels that this will lure the audience to cinema houses.
There is a hype around the film primarily due to Armaan as he is legendary actor-director Raj Kapoor's grandson and Deeksha does not feel sidelined by this.
"I expected Armaan to get all the limelight. If you promote this film saying that Keval Kishan Kumar's granddaughter Deeksha Seth is making her debut in Hindi films then people would ask who is he ? No one cares who my family is and it is natural," Deeksha told PTI.
"With Armaan there is certain level of curiosity. It is good that Armaan is getting so much attention; it will bring the audience to the theatre. Both of us have equal screen space in the film. I don't feel overshadowed by him," she said.
Apparently Armaan's family members like Neetu Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor and few others kept coming to the sets while they were shooting the film.
"I interacted with them when they came on the sets. At the music launch of the film I met Kareena, Rishiji, Randhirji but it was for a very brief moment. I was a little reserved because I don't belong to this industry and for me these people are like big stars," Deeksha said.
"I even felt like going and asking them for a photograph but then I resisted myself. But they are all very warm and cordial people," she said.
Armaan's mother Rima is the younger daughter of Raj Kapoor and is married to Manoj Jain.
"Kapoors are entertainers... It is in their blood. Armaan is a live wire, funny and caring guy. Initially he was little reserved and I thought he didn't like me. Then one day we started talking and hit off like two long lost friends," she said.
