Ishita comments on playing a Bengali girl for the first time: "I had never played a Bengali girl before, but I got the opportunity to play it through 'Kajol''s character, who is very close with her family.

The 30-year-old actress has attended workshops to play this role perfectly on-screen. Moreover the vacations she spent in Kolkata also helped her to depict the character in a realistic way.

Another important aspect that helped in the preparations was the workshops conducted. They helped me acquire a deeper understanding of relationships with parents, siblings, and the family as whole. It is very important for all the actors to connect as a unit. During our first meeting with the director, we did a prop-up shoot to create chemistry. So, it all turned out to be a great help to get into 'Kajol''s character.
