Speaking about my character, she said, "This is the most emotionally fleshed-out character that has come my way. Honestly, it is all because of Shakun, and I'm not just being nice and complimenting you, but he has really helped me because I was very nervous. The fact that they even wanted me to be a part of this film, I was firstly very excited. But, then after that, even Siddhant was like 'how are we actually going to do it?' A lot of conversations with Shakun helped."

She also added, "I feel like this character is quite similar to how I am as a person. There's a lot of qualities that Tia and I share."

Finally, she concluded by saying, "The hardest part for me was kinda being myself in front of the camera. Sometimes when you're playing another character or someone that's really far away from you, it's kinda easy for you to be in someone else's shoes. But, when you're showing a vulnerable and fragile side of yourself in front of the camera, it can get kinda scary. But, then it is also very liberating when it goes well."
