During the conversation, Kanwaljit said, “All I remember was how I ate a lot of food; otherwise, I didn’t remember much. Since that film, I have shot for almost four other projects, so I had forgotten all about the character. When I saw the film, I felt so disgusted that I instantly went to Sanya and said sorry.”

He further elaborated, “She was taken aback and asked me why I was apologising. I told her I had forgotten how much I troubled her in the film and hence felt bad. She has nailed the part, and seeing her go through the struggles left all of us distraught.”
