Everything happened so fast that I didn’t have time to react and it’s in Jaipur and I was already shooting was another show and I was not sure whether to do it or no but they said that I was finalised and I am flying tomorrow and this is the fastest show I’ve done.

I have worked with Hina before but she makes sure that even if I am wearing a saree it is different from what I have done before so I have nice breezy organza sarees and all of that.
