- In an interview, she shared an incident that happened while filming the 2022 Hindi film Kashmir Files. she says,
People in the country often talk about this brutal massacre. My health got really bad while filming the scene where I was being cut with a saw. I can’t see the difference between scrolls and real life. My blood pressure dropped and I started having trouble breathing. After finishing the scene, I sat in a corner. Meanwhile, another scene is being filmed where people are being shot while standing together. Mr. Vivek threw Kashmiri Pandits there. When they were getting shot by bullets, I started yelling there and started saying don’t kill my people. I forgot the show was happening. The production team came to me to comfort me. Even Mr. Vivek came. I was not breathing and I was having a panic attack. I don’t understand how I can save my life. Then I was sent back to the hotel. I stayed in the hotel room for three days and didn’t talk to anyone. But afterwards I felt very embarrassed, how could I be so broken even though I was an acting coach. I couldn’t even make eye contact with the crew. “
