Sangram Singh has been motivating her for the new role. He will be teaching her horse riding. In an interview, she mentioned that she is a bit scared of riding a horse and hopes that she doesn't topple off the horse.

The place where she is shooting is quite hot. The actress is mostly seen covered on the sets, so that she does not get tanned.
