She loves fiercely, without conditions, without fear. That kind of love is rare, both on screen and in real life.”

She further shares how she approached the audition, “While preparing, I didn’t think about whether I would get selected or not. I just surrendered to Nazima’s emotions, her pain, her devotion, her strength. I think when you are honest with a character, the audience and the makers can feel it.”
