Husne Shabnam recalls Siddharth and Aditi Rao Hydari's chemistry on Lust Stories 3

When asked about Siddharth and Aditi Rao Hydari's chemistry on the sets, Shabnam shares, "If I have to say it in a Gen Z language, then it's a total green flag. They are so much in love, and it's so good to see that. It's a good example for today's world that there are couples like them who are so deeply in love after marriage also. And as artists too, they are commendable."

"They are very grounded; they make you feel at home. They never treat you like, 'You guys are just starting your journey, and we are celebrities." Nothing like that. Aditi is a genuine sweetheart. Siddharth is very soft-spoken, very fun. He used to sing all the time. And as a couple, they are just green flags," she adds.

Recalling her first meeting with the two, Shabnam shared, "So, the first and the core memory is the table read. At that time we were meeting for the first time, and when Aditi and Siddharth walked in, Siddharth introduced himself, saying, 'Hi, I am Aditi Rao Hydari's husband.' So, all of us were flattered; we thought, 'Now that's a green flag'."

Interestingly, before acting, Husne Shabnam, who hails from Kolkata, has worked as a dialect coach for Alia Bhatt and Shabana Azmi in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Talking of coaching Alia, she says, "Alia is a superstar. I'm a big fan of Alia myself. So, when I got to know that I have to coach her, I was surprised and I was very finicky."

Recalling her meeting with Alia, she shares, "Then I met her, I went to her house and we sat for long hours and she was very precise that her character belonged to Delhi and she has never lived in Kolkata or been there."

She further recalls Alia telling her, "I don't want to get into that proper dialect zone because you can't expect a proper dialect from an NRI, right? She is kind of an NRI."
