this
film,
I
have
learnt
that
a
biographical
film
comes
with
many
challenges;
my
biggest
challenge
as
an
actor
was
to
get
into
Saina

shoes,
literally
and
figuratively,
to
stay
true
to
the
story
and
recreate
her
accomplishments
and
hardships.
As
an
actor,
I
embraced
each
challenge,
and
I
do
think
that
I
learnt
a
lot
as
a
professional
in
the
process.
I
worked
on
the
physical
appearance
and
the
right
body
language,
and
I
am
glad
it
worked
out
in
my
favour.
I
had
a
great
time
working
on
this
film."

is
a
story
