“I got rejected several times, then, was lucky enough to bag this film. I’m glad that I got rejected and grateful my debut is happening with Saif Sir and Tabu ma’am. It didn’t feel real until I started shooting the film,” she was quoted as saying.
The actress also shared her views on nepotism and said, “We need to realize that even in our struggle, we are privileged. If we get rejected in 10 auditions, someone else has got the thumbs down 100 times. Their struggle is greater than ours. But just because I’m privileged, it doesn’t mean that I’m not going to do what I love and work hard for it.”
