'I joined Heeramandi's shoot right after completing Laapataa Ladies.''When I landed on the Heeramandi sets, I was like "Oh my God!" because this was for the first time I was seeing such a huge set in my life.'

'While I was performing it, I had a weird feeling that people would love it because it's so bizarre.'
