I still remember the first day when I was on the set with
two chotis (plait/braid) and in a school uniform. There
was Dhanush and few thousand people who had
gathered to see us shoot in Benaras. I was honestly
very tense and anxious. But when I used to be get ready
on the set with my hair and costume I would look like
15-year old Zoya. I also believed in myself and thanks
to the good genes from my father! Though my father
gets upset when he hears this (smiles), I do look like my
mother a lot.
