Meanwhile,
Karisma
told
the
Times
of
India
that
he
didn't
meet
Jigna
Vora
till
the
end
of
their
shooting
schedules.
"Hansal
was
very
clear
that
he
wanted
to
keep
my
interpretation
of
the
character
as
open
as
possible.
Because
it
was
inspired
by
Jigna's
book.
Hansal
sir
didn't
want
me
to
copy
her
characteristics.
He
wanted
me
to
interpret
the
character
in
my
own
way," she
added.
