Describing the most demanding moment on set, Mrinmayee Godbole recalled a central confrontation that tested personal limits during production. Mrinmayee Godbole said, "One of the film's most pivotal scenes was the break-up scene between Lalit and me. It's a 13 min long, one take. The sequence required such visceral anger and emotional upheaval that I had to physically topple a treadmill. The scene is so destructive and the emotions so loud that neighbors at the shooting location gathered in a panic, thinking it was actually happening. It was one of the most physically and emotionally demanding sequences I have ever filmed."

Speaking about how that experience stayed afterwards, Mrinmayee Godbole explained how the performance crossed into something deeply personal. Mrinmayee Godbole added, "When you are in that moment, you aren't just acting, you are living that frustration. But as an actor, the people's reaction was the ultimate validation. It was exhausting, yet I went home that night with a quiet mind because I knew we had captured something honest."
