Having watched the first season prior to signing on for the second, she felt a mix of excitement and apprehension. "Maine bola 'sir ek request hai, mere mummy papa ne bola hai 'beta swachch kaam karna'" (Sir, I have a request, my mom and dad have asked me to pick clean roles), she shared, highlighting her parents' desire for her to engage in roles that reflect their values.
