  • She further added, "He then said, 'Beta, I watched both the shows, and you did the same thing for claps.' He was very angry. He said in a higher tone, 'I would rather see you failing doing something new rather than doing the same thing again and again for claps, okay?' I was like, 'Okay, sir, sorry.' He asked whether the character even needed to cry. He said you're forcing yourself on the character and not letting it explore anything new. You will be repetitive as an actor. Your career will be over. That incident changed things in me and shifted something in me."
