Bollywood actress known for her role in the web series Mirzapur
“I had a lot of intimate scenes in Mirzapur. They were not so common at that point in time. Everybody on that set was my friend, so I had it very simple. When the role had come to me, I talked to Karan Anshuman about every scene. He had even told me that if I was feeling uncomfortable with someone's presence on the set, he would make sure that person would not be there on the set. Fortunately, that was the environment that existed for me.”
