In a candid chat with Mid-day, Jaideep joked about being considered as a family member of the Pataudis. He said, "Ab main family member kaha jaa sakta hoon (I can be called a family member)."
The Raazi actor also delved into the couple`s similarities and differences when it comes to their acting styles.
"As actors, they are slightly different. Jaane Jaan was quite serious. So, [her] preparation was different. But the one thing I found interesting is that despite being such big stars, both of them never intimidate you with their stardom," Ahlawat added.

However, even they were pleasantly surprised seeing him dance for the first time. "I can only manage this much dance," the actor said.
He further explained, "Here, Sid sir and the makers thought of making me dance. They could have easily shot the song only with Saif and Nikita. But Kunal Bhai [Kapoor] and I were included. I saw the opportunity and accepted it."
Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins is now streaming on Netflix.
