She shot a few emotional scenes with Demi, On this Mrunal said, “She continuously kept asking me how I was able to cry so easily in the heavy-duty emotional scenes. I explained to her how back home, on TV shows, we are continuously enacting such scenes and that’s how crying comes naturally to us. She actually kept wiping my tears with her shawl after every scene!”
Mrunal said she did not groom herself for six months to look the part of the film. She says, “I did not do my eyebrows for many months. In fact, during my auditions, the makers were sceptical of casting me in the project because they felt I was too beautiful for the role. Also, they had reservations because of my television background. So, it was much more challenging to be transported into a completely different environment.”
