When asked for the reason behind it, Nargis said, "Actually when I travel I wear a hoodie and a scarf all the time, because a lot of people are sick on the airplane, so, you get sick all the time. I just do like that. That's the way I walk around."
To which Riteish quipped, "She comes to sets that way."
The "Azhar" actress said she missed promoting "Housefull 3" with her co-stars and was "sad" about it.
"I was very sad not to be a part of promotions with my co-actors because they are hilarious. I missed out on a lot of fun. But unfortunately I was unwell. Now I am better and super excited for promotions of this ('Banjo')".
Directed by Ravi Jadhav, "Banjo" is a musical drama which features Riteish, 37, as a Banjo player while Nargis will portray the role of a DJ in the movie.
The film, also starring dancer-actor Dharmesh Yelande, is set to release on September 23.
