Some Bollywood stars are known to go out of the way to
accommodate their producers, sometimes braving risks and weather. We often hear
such episodes of professionalism about Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar,
Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone. Joining the list now is
the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani actress Evelyn Sharma.
Recently, on her way to shoot for Divya Khosla Kumar’s
Yaariyan in Darjeeling and Sikkim, Evelyn’s flight was rerouted from Bagdogra
to Guwahati airport because of a bad storm, leaving her stranded alone with her
luggage.
Shooting was scheduled for the next day and since she knew
it’s a big hassle for any producer to reschedule location shoots, the actress
decided to bravely take an overnight train from Guwahati to Siliguri to reach
her sets on time.
“Luckily, God sent an angel in the form of one of the nicest
persons I have ever met; to guide and guard me the whole journey – from going
to the railway station, arranging for a ticket on a completely booked train,
guarding me for 10 hours on the journey, inviting me for lunch in Siliguri and
safely dropping me to the car which brought me to the shoot in Sikkim,” a
grateful Evelyn reveals, though concealing the name and gender of this ‘mystery
person’.
“Without the timely help, I would have been lost in
Guwahati, as my phone was dead and the flight personnel did not help at all,”
she adds.
Needless to say, her entire film crew was highly impressed
with Evelyn’s bravery of taking the train alone in the night, just to make sure
she reached on time.
Yaariyan is the directorial debut of T-Series’ head honcho
Bhushan Kumar’s wife Divya Khosla Kumar and releases on January 31 next year.
