Instance 1:
Miss Julia (Kangana Ranaut) is getting ready to go on stage for a performance when she learns that her makeup-man is missing. He was swept away by the river while trying to save her belongings during an enemy attack. 'Zulfi,' she bemoans. She was genuinely fond of him. People around her try to comfort her but it's all to no avail. 'Zulfi,' she keeps uttering. Then her to-be husband joins in and more cajoling follows and then suddenly in the middle of this chatter about how the show must go on she abruptly asks, 'लेकिन मैं पहनूँगी क्या?'
 
Instance 2:
Julia and Nawab(Shahid Kapoor) were lost in a jungle and while finding their way out of it, they fell in love. However, once they're back in camp, Julia behaves as if nothing has happened between them. She summons him to her quarters one evening to tell him 'तुम्हें इस तरह मेरा फ़ायदा नहीं उठाना चाहिए था।' Nawab bursts into a small, involuntary laugh before he answers 'ग़लती हो गयी,माफ़ कर दीजिए'
 
Wonderfully revealing, the responses in both instances. Their spontaneity brings to mind the EM Forster line 'How can I know what I think till I see what I say?"
