Draped in a red and black shawl, Deepika along with Irfaan was seen engaged in a conversation, sitting on the stairs of the ghat which was part of the scene. The cast and crew easily braved the chilly conditions but certain activities on the ghat at times made them stop for a while. The director had to flash the pointer light at a bajra on the other end of the river Ganga as some revellers inside the boat were busy singing some Bhojpuri numbers creating quite a noise. Even the hooter of the Jal police making a round of the river made the crew take it easy for a while.

The query of the Jal police personnel , kya yahan shooting ho rahi, made Deepika flash her dimpled smile. Irrfan also appeared to enjoy the shooting stint on the ghat as he happily posed for clicks with his fans. The writer of the film Juhi Chaturvedi was also seen on the sets.
