She asked the actor in Hindi, “A lot of people come to this city, after leaving their villages and their homes. They think that it will be easy to make it in Mumbai, and that they’ll become stars. Looking at you, it might seem easy, because you achieved your dream. But what is that one that that kept you going in the face of adversity? I am sure you have experienced a lot of fear and rejection in the beginning. So, what was that one thing that kept you going?”

The camera is what takes me to the viewers. Who cannot love it?”
