I have always been a huge fan of hers, more so with Mardaani. I have tried to replicate her style, and I have done it how she was in the movie.”
“Even when you think of Rani, you think of a sweet, delicate kind of girl, you do not think of her as a police officer. But she did it. So even with my personality, if Ujjwal and the team thought of me as a cop, I am sure they must have thought of something and I don’t think I have disappointed them because there are a lot of people in the team who called me up and said that they are super happy with the character and the episode. The channel is happy, and everything has gone right,” she also said.
The actress recently joined the cast of Choti Sarrdaarni too, but revealed that Hijack was the first show that opened the door to other genres for her.
She also accepted that though she was a little nervous, she was happy with the challenging roles coming her way.
