I was 12 years old when I did the Bengali film Balika Badhu. Initially, I was enjoying the lifestyle, but later, I started getting bored, and I started eloping in between shots from the set (laughs). Then the funny thing was, with my dad’s permission, the production team used to lock me inside a glass room till my next shot sequence."

"Even director Tarun Majumdar Saab, who is like a father figure, used to be anguished by my behaviour on-set, and he ended up giving me a funny punishment where I had to hold my ears and stand after my mischief. The film Balika Badhu eventually became one of the best films in history. This allowed me to come to Mumbai for the first time to receive an award," added the Prem Bandhan actress.
