Veena, who was hired for five days for Deepika Padukone’s Mehendi ceremony, also shared anecdotes about the atmosphere at Lake Como. Veena recalled that she was initially wondering about how they would get through the henna design, as the temperature was quite low there.

Talking about Ranveer Singh, Veena shared that when the actor arrived there, the sun came out and he lit up the room. The Dhurandhar actor was “joking and laughing with everyone,” she added.
