I am very blessed and fortunate that I got an opportunity like Mimi. Kabhi kabhi itni intensity wali filmein, itna layered character milta nahin hai itna easily and I am really blessed and fortunate that my producer and my director felt I could do it. I am just feeling very elated today. I knew that it is going to be a special film because just the story you know everything about it I was very passionate about it about this one.”
