There is supposed to be a kiss between me and AK. I was not told about the kiss right till the end we were walking on the set to do the scene, I was not told. This wouldn’t have happened with a star kid.”She continued, “I was nervous. I was overwhelmed. I didn’t have anybody around me to even have a chat about it. I was just told this is what you have to do. I wanted to cry because I wasn’t mentally prepared for it. I am saying if I knew like, maybe an hour or one hour ago, I would have been prepared but it came as a shock. I don’t have any friend on set. I feel that becomes a little unfair treatment in terms of somebody who is not coming from the background, or who doesn’t have nepo kid tag.”
