17 Nov 2016

It was an unexpected surprise for Shraddha Kapoor at Mehboob Studios , Mumbai on Tuesday afternoon, when members of Dawoods family visited her shooting of Haseena , the bio-pic on Dawood Ibrahims sister Haseena Parkar directed by Apoorva Lakhia. Apparently some members of the Dawood family dropped in unannounced to meet the reel Haseena Parkar. Says a source from Lakhias crew, There were Haseena Parkars three children Alishah, Umeria and Khushiyan and Haseenas brother Sameer Antulay. Initially Shraddha and the rest of the cast including Siddhanth Kapoor who plays her brother Dawood, and Ankur Bhatia who plays Haseens husband, were alarmed. But then the atmosphere softened. The tension dissolved. Apparently Haseenas family liked what they saw. Says the source, Haseena Parkars children and brother fell in love with the way the film was being shot. They had come prepared for the eventuality of falling in love with the film. They had gotten along the real Haseenas personal belongings, her reading glasses, nose ring and her favourite lipstick which they presented to Shraddha. Ankur Bhatia who plays Shraddhas husband says, It was an amazing experience for me to meet Haseena Parkars children. I had not met them before. They showed me some old photos of their father and gave me tips which will be really useful to play Haseenas husband.
