Deeksha Seth, who will make her Bollywood debut with Arif Ali's Lekar Hum Deewana Dil, has seven outings down South to her credit -six in Telugu and one in Tamil.

In LHDD, Deeksha plays Karishma Shetty, a fun-loving and rebellious college girl from Mangalore, who is passionate about photography. She wants to marry for love and elopes with her best friend, played by Armaan Jain. “The story is about our journey, and my character has a beautiful emotional graph," she says.

Interestingly, debutant Armaan was a bit intimidated by his co-star in the beginning. “Somebody told him that I had already done half a dozen movies. So, he was a little reserved and I thought he didn't like me. Then one day, we got chatting and realised that we were wrong about each other," recalls Deeksha, saying she was never jittery about entering Bollywood.

“I was familiar with the whole film environment, but LHDD is a very real story and I have never done anything like this before. So, while Armaan was learning, I was unlearning," says the actress, who is great friends with him now.

Lekar Hum Deewana Dil, produced by Eros International and Illuminati Films, releases July 4.
