Divya Dutta catches the 'gaali' bug

Divya Dutta will be seen puffing on a bidi and mouthing the choicest of gaalis in her forthcoming film.

The actress, who played Amitabh Bachchan’s nurse with finesse in The Last Lear, will be seen playing a kachrawali in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Delhi 6.

But guess who taught her the gaalis? Well, it was Abhishek Bachchan!

"I play a very different character, who is very low on femininity and high on rough and abusive talk," Divya said. "My language is very interesting where I talk loudly and rudely."

Divya’s character in Delhi 6 is called Jalebi. She will be seen collecting garbage from doorsteps and using gaalis frequently. She was even sent for diction classes for three months to learn the Haryanvi ‘language’ that a kachrawali in Old Delhi generally uses.

"While Diyva was able to maintain the authenticity of the character, she couldn't get her abusive act in place," said a unit member. That is when Abhi stepped in to be her 'gaali teacher'!
