´Love Aaj Kal´ : Brazilian Beauty Giselle Mon­teiro Becomes Harleen

Rishi Kapoor, who plays Harleen’s husband, Veer Pratap Singh, in 'Love Aaj Kal', met Giselle Monteiro, the actress who has played Harleen in the film, for the first time on 30th July 2009, a day before the film’s release.

That’s be­cause Rishi and Giselle did not have a single scene together in the film. If you haven’t seen 'Love Aaj Kal', this would sound confusing but it is actually very simple. Rishi Kapoor romances Harleen when he is a young man, but the role of young Rishi Kapoor is enacted by Saif Ali Khan in the film.Therefore, all the romantic scenes are between Saif and Giselle and there are none between Rishi and her. There is just one scene involving Rishi Kapoor and his wife but in that scene, Harleen is not played by Giselle.

Rishi Kapoor and young Harleen (Giselle Mon­teiro) were introduced to each other in real life on 30th July in Delhi where they both were attending the film’s premiere show alongwith the other cast and crew members.
