Talking about the same to Spot Boye, she said, “I used to give my best and to look slim and fit, I used to have only one bowl of dal every day. However, things weren’t looking so great. But one fine day, I got a call from Farah Khan Madam’s office, and they called me for an audition at Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies’ office and things changed from there. As soon as I kept the phone, I lost consciousness. My mother gave me another bowl of dal and that’s when I got into my senses and started preparing for my audition.”
She also revealed that how she used to step out wrapping herself in a curtain, for she lived in a chawl, saying, “I was told that I would have to look glamorous as the character was such. But in the chawl that I was staying at, you couldn’t step out in such clothes. So, I asked my mother what should I do? She gave me a set of curtains, which I wrapped around my glamorous clothes and went for the audition,” As quoted by Hindustan Times.
