Talking about her role and the process of getting it right, the 23-year-old actor said: "It was extremely cathartic in that sense, but I think I had to get over that fear of letting go and just being and exposing a vulnerable side of myself." Panday added that she was drawn to the real, grey and complex characters of the film. "It was all in the writing for me — everything felt so honest and natural. I felt there was a lot I could borrow of myself for the part," said Ananya.
