Actress Dimple Kapadia revealed that initially she was reluctant to act in 'Dil Chahta Hai' but actor Akshaye Khanna called her up and convinced her to do the role. "Akshaye was such a sweetheart. Thank god I did it because working with Zoya Akhtar and working with that team was...very rewarding and helped me a lot," the 67-year-old actress added.
