She is this bubbly, funny and outgoing girl who says exactly what's on her mind. She is always supportive of her friend's career as well as her personal life. I feel she's a lot like me, loving and caring. Beenu doesn't have a filter in her mouth and everything that's on her mind is what you hear her say. 

I had an amazing time shooting for Phone-A-Friend. It was a fabulous shoot. All of us gelled so well on set and were already laughing and having fun on sets from the first day. We shot these party scenes throughout the night and it honestly felt like a big party.

Yash and Allyson had an amazing team and it was honestly a beautiful experience working with these guys. We had no problem while shooting and it's still one of my best shoots ti date."

The series is produced by Utopia Films. It is co-produced by Anish N Surana, Ashish and Surabhi Mittal.

Way to go Nupur!
