“I am an over-the-top live wire in the film. You will see me overacting, being loud, and doing things I’ve never done on screen before. My personality in real life is completely different from what you’ll see in the film,” she said.

“Unfortunately, things are only getting worse, and as actresses, we need to be extremely careful. There are thousands of cameras following us, and it’s very difficult to control everything. I feel it all comes down to upbringing. Anyone creating deepfake images should think twice and consider how they would feel if such things were done to their parents, sisters, or wives,” she said.
