Deepika Padukone's funny scenes from Chennai Express

Introduction scene

Meena is introduced in the film, in the funniest way. At the very beginning of her introduction, Rahul (played by Shah Rukh Khan) tried to flirt with Meena, thinking she doesn’t know Hindi language. Little did he know, that Meena knew better Hindi than him. As she meets Rahul in the train, goons, who also happen to be Meena’s cousins, surround the two.

Rahul seems to be very scared. On the other hand, Meena seems to very calm. As Meena and Rahul get to talking, Meena casually puts forward the fact that her father is the biggest don of her village and they might not leave Rahul alive. This serious scene is portrayed with the perfect amount of subtle comedy.

Plans an escape with Rahul

There is a scene in the film where Meena goes up to Rahul, informing him that she will be running away from her house that night, and asks him to come along. The already traumatised Rahul says that it is not such an easy task to run away from a don’s mansion. To this, Meena asks Rahul to relax and not worry as she has done it many times. She says that she has run away from her house multiple times and makes him believe nothing will go down-hill. The way Meena tried to pacify the completely scared Rahul is worth watching.
