Appearing on The Kapil Sharma Show earlier, Nimrat has opened up about her weight gain journey. ""=I had time, I had six months in hand so I put on weight at my own pace. I ate lots and enjoyed myself," she said.
Sharing the reason behind gaining weight, Nimrat further added, "This was a creative decision. Tushar (Tushar Jalota), who is the film's director, wanted me to look different from all my previous characters on screen. After the film, losing weight was also a long process."
