To know more about the song, ETimes reached out to Shalini and here she spills the beans exclusively.

Speaking about the song, the actress said, “Actually right from the time I heard the audio track of the song, I was hooked. It’s an unusual track, very different from the regular fare. What attracted me was the composer’s thought process, sensitive and layered storyline, and the director’s vision regarding the
color palette and the production design. In fact, everything about this song is very unique and it was a straight off the bat yes for me".

The actor had to put on weight for this role to play the character. Shalini said, "I had to put on a certain amount of weight as I had to look sensuous and real at the same time. I was apprehensive but then it resonated with my thinking that one should be comfortable in her skin. It was a challenge and I hope we achieved what we set out to do. The entire process got easy because the team was fabulous. They were very well prepared and knew exactly what they wanted from me as an actor.
My director, Yasir Jah helped me to transition into the character and portray the layers and nuances it has to offer".

On being asked about her experience working on the set, Shalini says, “It was overall a fun shoot. But the smoking part was a bit difficult for me as I'm a nonsmoker. I did not know how I was going to do that. The option was between the Hookah and cigarettes and I had to choose Cigarette, to exhale the exact amount of smoke needed for the shot. It was a challenge.``

Regarding Shalini’s experience working with the team, she adds,
"Having an amazing team on board was the best experience on the project, they had prepared very well and knew exactly what they wanted from me as the actor, especially the director,

Yaseer Zah

, who was very encouraging and supportive. His
attitude and encouragement made my job easier portraying this layered and nuanced character. I would like to specifically mention Vikram Montrose, the composer and the vision behind this music album, we all were working towards achieving his vision and I am glad that he is happy with the result.”

Professionally, Shalini has a packed schedule this year. Apart from Sajna, she is also gearing up for the release of a Hindi feature Film, where she plays the lead role.
