When Amyra was star-struck

Actress Amyra Dastur says she was star-struck on meeting Chinese actor Jackie Chan with whom she is currently shooting her upcoming film, Kung Fu Yoga.

Amyra met Jackie for the first time in Beijing.

"The first time when I met him I just told him I loved him. It was like a kid moment. I was star-struck," Amyra said.

The actress, who made her debut with "Issaq" in 2013 alongside actor Prateik Babbar, is enjoying shooting action sequences for "Kung Fu Yoga".

"Performing the action scenes initially was challenging. I learnt martial arts, hand-to-hand combat and some other basic stuff. Jackie Chan, being an expert, helped me while I was training for the action part. I got a few bumps and bruises, but that's ok," she said.

Amyra plays a young happy-go-lucky girl in the film.

"I play a modern young Indian girl, funky, sweet, but there is a twist to my role. She is good at martial arts," she said.

Amyra had a good learning experience while shooting with the Chinese crew on Kung Fu Yoga. —PTI
