"I used to look forward to going for the shooting of the film and I think that happens when we love doing what we are doing. It was fascinating to work with Tigmanshu Dhulia because he is not only a good director but also a good actor. So whenever he is explaining something, his briefing is not only as a director but also as an actor," said Chitrangada.
The actress plays a complex woman in the film.
"Tigmanshu knew that character very well. So as an actor, it was a learning for me to be nuanced with her. How, a woman who can talk like 'Humein aapke bade bhai ki rakheyal kahate hai', would sit down, how much will she shy, hesitate and be firm - such little details I used to learn from our director."
