"Nowadays, you are getting trolled for sneezing, or breathing, or getting out of a car. So am I worried about that? No. Not at all. Am I worried about making a mistake? No. Not at all because if I don't make a mistake, how am I going to learn? Or how am I going to question?," the actress said in the interview.
