Meenakshi Seshadri praises Sunny Deol

Meenakshi, revealed that she shared the screen space with Sunny for the first time in Dacait and said, “We had a romantic song in which we're both on a boat before the song starts and he kisses me. It was an actual kiss. It was a little nerve-wracking for me because I am very conservative.” She further added, “He was such a gentleman. He was so relaxed and so easy to work with that it went through so smoothly. And I think that's the reason why all other movies that I did with him, we had this very good equation and understanding.”
