Namit Das and Neha Sharma

Namit Das and Neha Sharma got along like a house on fire while shooting for the web film, 'Aafat-e-Ishq'. The two opened up about their equation on Ira Dubey's chat show, 'A Table for Two'. Das took viewers through his camaraderie with Sharma that was forged during the shoot of their digital outing.

"We had a blast rehearsing and shooting together," says Das. "Due to OTT platforms, the films are not just about box-office collections, but also about the actors," added Sharma.

Namit had earlier revealed that his character in 'Aafat-e-Ishq' is one of the strangest he has played so far. Talking about his role, Namit said, "Atmaram is one of the strangest characters that I have played in my career. I don't want to reveal much, but whatever has been disclosed so far includes that he has killer moves. These moves are enough to get Neha interested in him, but now the question is whether this is love or friendship. It's an interesting look. He has something retro and playful about him."

"I thank director Indrajeet Natto ji who had me in his mind for this part. It takes the makers to have complete faith in you when they are casting, when they're allotting parts to actors. When people see a part like this they will also realise why the right casting is so important. It is one is of the most important factors of filmmaking. My director really stood by me," added the actor, known for featuring in digital projects like 'A Suitable Boy', 'Aarya' and 'Mafia'.

Aafat-e-Ishq also features Ila Arun, Deepak Dobriyal and Pravessh Rana.
