Partnership facts

• Bipasha and Rahul first met on the set of 'Takkari Donga' (2002). She was already a rising star post 'Raaz'; he was a newcomer. The film's director, Jayant Paranji, paired them specifically because he wanted a fresh, urban-looking couple for the Telugu-Hindi crossover.
• In 'Jaane Hoga Kya' (2005), Rahul played a possessive lover who turns violent. Bipasha later said in an interview that Rahul's intense, silent acting style forced her to dial down her own performance — she had to react more with her eyes than her voice, which she called 'a new acting muscle'.
• Rahul Dev and Bipasha Basu were close friends off-screen throughout the 2000s. He was one of the few co-stars she trusted to give her blunt career advice — she once told a journalist he was the only actor who'd tell her 'that scene was crap, reshoot it' without worrying about hurting her feelings.
• Rahul Dev on Bipasha: 'She has this raw energy that makes you want to match her. On 'Aa Dekhen Zara' (2009), I remember she'd push me to do one more take even when the director was happy. She made me a better actor.' — from a 2009 interview with Filmfare.
• Their only hit together, 'Takkari Donga' (2002), was a Telugu-Hindi bilingual that introduced Bipasha to South Indian audiences. That film directly led to her being cast in the Tamil blockbuster 'Chandramukhi' (2005) — the director P. Vasu saw her in 'Takkari Donga' and signed her.
