The actress shared these memories during the conversation within this podcast about the shooting about her film 'Four More Shots Please', saying she felt upset on its set. She said: she had to lie on the seashore, wearing quite a short dress while many standing people were in front of the crew members. The actress said, "I was feeling very much insecure at that time because some 70 persons were standing in front of me."

The actress further said that better security arrangements should be made for women on the set. She said once during shooting, she wanted someone to stand next to her with a shawl, but it did not happen. "Many times, we shoot in such a rush that one's safety is not even the last thing on one's mind. Sometimes your limits get compromised, which is the common mindset that needs to be expanded," she said.
