On the sets
During the shoot, I completely adopted the role I was given. I knew what I had to do. It was all natural.
Family support
I love travelling to different countries. It was just amazing. My father had come, but for some time only because of his office duties. My Mom was always with me. And in the Middle East, it’s too hot out there. I couldn’t have done it without my mother, because one by one, people were fainting and were rushed to the hospital.
Tiger Zinda Hai
Tiger Zinda Hai was an amazing experience for me. I travelled many countries. I enjoyed a lot. It was like having fun. I used to play cards, games with my friends. Shooting was just in some part of the day, rest I was having fun.
Bond with Salman
Salman Khan loved me a lot. We spent quality time together and stayed in the same hotel. He has gifted me a scarf which he wore during the movie shoot. It’s really nice.
