Aashiqui. But then she confessed to me that when she came for the shooting of Aashiqui in Ooty, while we were filming with Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal, she said, ‘When you were picturising those hit songs, I felt envious ‘Ah, I should have done it!’ And then immediately she jumped in and did Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin."
