Actor Abhishek Banerjee, who has acted with a mannequin in an entire segment of the upcoming anthology 'Ankahi Kahaniya', says he never felt it was a lifeless object and not his real co-star.

Sharing his experience, Abhishek said in a conversation with IANS: "I never felt that it (mannequin) is lifeless. I always felt that I could see her smile. I do not know how this was possible and I don't have an answer to that. I feel it was the beauty of the story and the credit for this goes to the writers."
