The common thing if I had to say is that Meetu is a very determined person, a fan, a determined woman…” , she revealed and continued further, “I always like to come away with the vibe or the scent or the memory of the character.

The shot was ready and at my to great horror, I realized there was no hot water available, so there I was, sitting in the freezing cold shower, trying to get the emotions out of my face as I literally froze” , the actress shared with a laugh.
