So being a part of the celebration made me very excited, and it was fun to be a part of a tradition which I have never never heard of.”

The look, the feel, I actually felt like we were shooting in Udaipur. Everything was so authentic while shooting and I was excited to be part of this. And when we shot this, we definitely had fun.”
