She had never dreamed of acting in the Indian film industry. Speaking about her role as Arya in the Sridevi-starrer, Sajal said, “It was definitely a challenging role… I mean any character you play, you have to really commit to it and kind of naturally become like that, at least that’s how I function. I think the most challenging part was performing with Sridevi ma’am. Like my very first scene in the movie is me sitting at a dining table across from her and misbehaving with her — it was terrifying!,” Dawn quoted her as saying on Wednesday.

“We had to shoot in Georgia and it was freezing cold… So yeah, that was pretty tough too,” Sajal said. “Bollywood was never my dream, in all honesty. I was happy working here and that was not something I was working towards but this story moved me. I always knew that if I worked in Bollywood, I have certain limitations and boundaries that I would not want to cross and this movie was about a sensitive topic, everything was handled so tastefully.”

Sajal said she had three film contracts with Boney Kapoor, Sridevi’s husband and a producer in Bollywood. The Pakistani actress has also celebrated the success of her debut movie ‘Mom’.
