I’ve worked with other actresses, but Madhuriji is Madhuriji.” However, we do know she is meeting him since she tweeted, “Meeting with Anil Kapoor today. Lets see what happens….” More

Promos of DIL TOH BACCHA HAI JI are on and while the songs have started making an impact (especially Abhi Kuch Dino Se which is currently on air), one can sense that Emraan is visibly comfortable with his new found pairing in Shruti.

Also, what can’t really be ignored is the flirtatious side of Emraan Hashmi has still not gone anywhere. Playing the character of Abhay who is in lookout for money as well as women in his life, Emraan appears to be carrying forward the naughty and mischievous image that has stayed on with him film after film.

He warns though that despite a good breather that he got with DIL TOH BACCHA HAI JI, never once did he feel that he was being a part of a typical romcom.
