“On set, there are literally four people that day – me, Ranbir, Sandeep sir and the DOP (director of photography). Every five minutes they were asking me ‘Are you okay? Is that something you want? Are you comfortable?’. When people around you are giving you that much support, you don’t feel odd at all. Of course, the people who don’t know how a set works and how these scenes are shot, for them imagination can take you anywhere. For them, it must be shocking and everybody is entitled to their opinion but as for me, I was very comfortable and I would always do what my character demands of me.”
