She added, “'Jalsa' gave me the opportunity to delve into the gray and it’s been a very challenging, enriching, and fulfilling experience for me as an actor. Also teaming up with Suresh again on a film that is poles apart from our previous project - 'Tumhari Sulu', was so exciting. Working with a bunch of wonderful actors, particularly Shefali Shah has been a highlight for me.”
Shefali Shah shared, “There are certain stories, you can't not be a part of, 'Jalsa' was one such experience for me. Unlike my recent portrayals, my role as Rukshana in 'Jalsa' is a complete contrast. However, the vulnerabilities and dilemmas that of a mother are like any other and living through them has been really fulfilling as an artist. It feels great to know that our hard work shall reach such a huge number of viewers at once and I am sure Jalsa will resonate with them."
