Model-actress Tena Desae, who is making her Hollywood debut in 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel', says her co-stars Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson and Dev Patel did not let her feel intimidated on the movie set.
Tena, who is just two films old in Bollywood, was surprised to find that her famous co-stars were very normal in real-life.
"They are not intimidating at all... They are just like regular people you meet everyday. They all made me feel so comfortable on the sets that I didn't feel awkward and enjoyed the whole process of filming the movie. I felt so relaxed around them and we used to have these long conversations.. it was a learning experience for me," Tena told PTI.
The actress started her career in Bollywood with 'Yeh Faasley' and then went on to do 'Sahi Dhandhe Galat Bande'. Both the films didn't do well at the box-office.
'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' is directed by John Madden and follows the story of a group of British people who come to holiday in India and find the new environment less luxurious than imagined but are forever transformed by their experiences.
