However, upon viewing the finished product, she expressed profound astonishment and joy, confessing that a second viewing was needed to fully grasp the film’s complexity. The actress highlighted the surprise of being associated with a project that surpassed her expectations.
Discussing her interactions with industry stalwarts, Chauhan commended Kangana Ranaut for her brilliance and discipline in the craft.
