Deepika convinced her Break Ke Baad team to hit the highway after bad weather prevented them from flying to Delhi


Deepika Padukone, Imran Khan and their Break Ke Baad producer Kunal Kohli and director Danish Aslam were scheduled to visit the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi over the weekend for a promotional event. The team was to assemble in Chandigarh and board a flight to Delhi. However, an unexpected snow blizzard in Rohtang forced them to make an eight-hour long road trip instead.

Reveals Kohli, "It was the biggest adventure of our lives. We couldn't have imagined that a snowstorm in Kashmir would affect the weather in Chandigarh.

After the flights got cancelled, Deepika suggested we hit the road. She was very keen on making it to Delhi under any circumstance. Since she heard that the students had been looking forward to their visit, there was no way she wanted to cancel. Imran too decided to travel from Patiala, where he was shooting."

He adds, "We were all hungry, but Deepika was worried about getting mobbed. So we found a relatively empty place and she covered her face in au00a0 dupatta and got out of the car. We managed to have some chana bhatura, but soon word got around she was in the dhaba and people started crowding. We managed to escape before it got out of hand."

Talking about her first-ever road trip, Padukone says, "While Kunal and Danish were taking care of the logistics and making sure we got to Delhi on time, I was busy enjoying the adventure.

I think stopping at the local dhaba and having food was really memorable. Among all the travelling I have done, this particular trip will go down as something really special."u00a0
