The actress narrates, “I was shooting in Filmcity and we had created an artificial hut as a kitchen and the shot was, my in-laws, try to burn me. So we were trying to burn that hut again and again and we were trying to extinguish it with water and eventually, it became very heavier. So for some reason, I came out and it suddenly collapsed while the fire was still on. It was very scary.”

“We were shooting and suddenly a lot of guards came there and they got us evacuated from that place very quickly. It so happened, a leopard along with his family had arrived there. So, it was even scarier,” she adds.
