He even used to come to me before every shot just to check whether I am in the de-glam look. Being an actress, it was quite challenging for me. Shooting an entire film in a no-makeup look is very tough,” revealed the actress.

I have seen how these people live in slum areas. So it was nothing difficult for me to portray a slum girl on-screen. Plus, Riya loves to be with children just like me in real life. I feel so close to children.”
