You know, sometimes you just want to take a leap of faith.

I was like, let's do it.

Also, what I had in my mind was that I wanted to live that world of Sanjaleela Bansali.

You know, and you don't know when will that time come that you'll live this world.

I thought this is it.

You know, period.

You want to do a period as an actor.

It just, it's so visually beautiful and fascinating.

Even as a viewer.

And just to be living that world.

We've shot for the series for 100 days.

We shot for a month and a half in Karjat and a month and a half in Kargil.

So that was a long series and it was a lot of blood and sweat put into the series.

But I still feel the experience was beautiful.

got it so you enjoyed every bit of it but you must have gone through some phase of transformation right like it's a like you got to change your mind you got to think differently you got to like you know orient your brain into the character like how do you prepare yourself into the character so we we had uh 10 days of preparation where i had to learn horse riding i had to do sword um fighting uh so obviously we had those preparations we had few scene readings and uh

But that was normal preparation.

The minute you go on set and the minute I got ready for the first time in that lehenga, in that, in just that period look, you and we shot 100 days, I mean 3 months.

We shot 90-95 days.

You know, there's a very subtle transition which you don't realise.

So we shot in the ND studio, the first schedule.
