Confronting the ghosts of one’s past can be as troubling as it is necessary. The actor reveals that as soon as she read the script of the Ribhu Dasgupta-directed psychological thriller, she understood it was one of those rare films that would take an emotional toll on her. Refusing to divulge details of the dark chapters of her life, she says, “I never wanted to face those incidents again. [But] I realised that to be able to pull off this character, I will have to dig deep into my past and confront the pain [I endured] in my personal life. This film has taken me to hell and back because it constantly kept me on the edge. It wasn’t easy [to be in this state] before every shot.” 

In 2016, the novel was adapted into a Hollywood offering, featuring Emily Blunt.
