Actress travels 10 hours from Hyderabad to outskirts of Pune by road to reach the sets of her film With Love, To Obama
Neha Dhupia had to go through a bad ordeal to reach the sets of her film With Love, To Obama. The actress was in Hyderabad for an event and was planning to leave for Mumbai on a flight. However, after being informed that her flight was cancelled, she had no other option but to travel by road.
No other option
Talking about her 10-hour long road journey Neha says, "I am still suffering from this road trip I made. We are shooting at this remote place called Phaltan, close to Pune. After I was told that the flight was cancelled, I had no other option but to travel by road. I didn't want to cancel the shoot as this schedule is really tight."
Braved the odds
Neha and her manager took a cab and began their journey at around 1.30 am in the morning. "It was something I wouldn't want to remember. We stopped at several dhabas to have tea just to make sure the driver didn't fall asleep. Also there was this constant fear of getting lost and being stranded in the middle of nowhere. But we braved the odds and reached our destination on time."
Never again!
After reaching her set, Neha was applauded for her perseverance. "My character is also brave and I guess the decision to make this road trip came from her!. But I don't think I would want to end up in such a situation ever again."
