With her role being touted and hailed as a massively incredible performance, compliments have come in galore for the actresses from audiences and members of the industry and peers. She reveals that it was in fact Janhvi’s compliment which really made her truly sentimental.

She reveals, “When I started filming Bala, it was actually the part of Sri Ma’am across her iconic roles. You don’t see many parts for women in comedy nowadays. But it was her and many actresses then who truly were an inspiration for me. Sridevi ma’am was a legend in such roles, she had the knack of doing a film like Chaalbaaz and also do a Sadma. Her comedic presence was truly a delight. So it was actually when Janhvi messaged me, it had a great sentimental value for me”.
