Actor insights
'They know the characters literally better than the director'
Bollywood Hungama quoted Sharma saying, "In this series, what really helps is the four girls. I like Kirti (Kulhari), Sayani (Gupta), Maanvi (Gagroo), and Bani (J)." "They have lived the characters for so long. They know the characters literally better than the director." "I came in with full humility. That you girls have lived the characters... But when they are there, they hardly need any direction because they have become those characters."
