Even though the 34-year-old actress has made a mark for herself in Bollywood with several hit films to her credit, she got very emotional when she saw herself with Shah Rukh in one frame.
"I was the happiest ever. To see myself and Shah Rukh on the screen, in one frame, that was... the first time I saw, the first shot, it was very emotional for me. I was like 'I have make up on, control your emotions'. I was constantly saying, 'Oh God! My first shot with him, thank you'."

Usually bold and confident in her demeanour, Leone, was a bundle of nerves when she met the 50-year-old actor on the movie's set. The "Ragini MMS 2" star says she behaved like a "dork" in front of him.
"He is very nice, respectful, and professional. I am such a dork, I get shy, I am like that person who doesn't know what to talk when that person is standing in front of you.
"You admire them, look upto them and you think 'they have accomplished so much', and then they're in front of you and you just don't know what to say," the actress says.
