Talking about being typecast in the Hindi film industry, she said, "Perceptions are strange. People used to think that I could only be a village girl for the longest time, till I did Badlapur."

The Andhadhun actress continued, "After Badlapur, people thought I could only do sex comedies, I could strip. So, I stopped. I just never said yes to them. Perceptions are a bit bizarre."
