In a new podcast chat with Divya Jain, Sushmita detailed the behind-the-scenes narrative of her wearing the red saree on set, while Farah informed her that her character will wear sarees throughout the film.

Sushmita Sen recalls Farah Khan scolding her

Sushmita Sen shared, "That red saree I was made to wear… it was freezing cold. On top of that, Farah Khan put a massive storm fan because Chandni’s hair needs to fly all the time. If Chandni is in the classroom, her hair is flying; if she’s crying, her hair is flying; even if it’s raining, her hair is flying. It was a mandatory requirement for the character."
