Talking about the challenge of losing weight for getting into the role she says, "I had to lose all that weight I gained for my role in Salt City. As for my last show, I had gained 20 kilos for the character and by the time I got this role it was a tough challenge to lose all those weight. In fact, even they told me as well that they shortlisted me because I'm a good actor but to fit into the role I have to lose weight. I took it as a challenge and told them that if you trust me enough, I won't let you down! Finally, I lost 20 Kilos in 3 to 6 months."

Spilling beans on her fitness regime she shares, "I had to work really hard. I did immense weight training and all credit goes to my trainer Mayur Rane who had to at times pull me out of my bed. We did a lot of weight training during the day and in the evenings I used to do steady-state cardio and yoga. I follow a high protein diet and extremely low carbs and also intermittent fasting."

She continues, "When there is a hectic shoot schedule and you still have to work out, it gets a little tricky because we shoot for very long hours. So you're left with very less hours to sleep, eat and train. But at that point in my life while I was shooting for this film. I knew I have to be disciplined and dedicated which helped me stay motivated. I used to make sure however hectic my schedule is, I still used to work out 5 times a week."
