What people are saying
To look like this, there's a whole lot of stuff that goes on behind the scenes!! Including almost having your wrist sawn off!!
I know what the reason was for us to pick certain kinds of garments and the way that we wanted those to be depicted.
One of my first conversations with Nitesh sir was that if Kaikeyi came from the kingdom of Kekaya, wouldn’t her jewellery be very different from the other two queens?
