So when you see me dancing in Kar Gayi Chull, I am actually just dancing."
She elaborated on the experience, adding, "I am just having like a great time. I don't think that was very performative. It was just me genuinely having a good time and it's also the vibe that Shakun created. I remember even when we went for our main outdoor to Coonoor, even though I had shoot on and off, I just stayed on. I was just there for the entire schedule."
