She further mentioned, “This isn’t just about the spectacle. It’s meaningful. It’s rooted. It’s real”. There’s a sense of pride in her voice a connection that goes beyond a typical role. She sees it as a way of honoring the real heroes, of bringing forgotten or lesser-known stories into the mainstream.
She also spoke about her experience of working with Salman Khan, as she said, “Everything he’s part of becomes massive. Whether you’re an actor or technician, it all scales up. It’s the kind of story that deserves to be told. And I’m just happy I get to be part of telling it”.

But the film that I have just done ‘Raat Akeli Hai 2’ with Honey Trehan, I have never taken so many takes in my life. I think it was a very challenging role and Honey is a very demanding director”.
