In her latest vlog on Youtube, Farah and Zayed recalled some memories from the film’s shoot.

She said, “I used to hit him so much during shooting. I used to hit him on the butt using my hands, after a point I realised that it isn’t even hurting him.” To which Zayed replied, “After a while, I took a butt pad and put it inside. Every time she used to hit me and think, ‘Why has it become so soft all of a sudden?'”

Zayed also revealed that Farah used to wake him up adorably, after which everyone used to visit the temple before starting the shoot. “She used to be the sweetest and wake me up in the morning like, ‘Zayed utho, set par late mat aao, time par aana (Don’t come late on the sets, come on time)’. She knew that we all used to sleep really late at night. She used to stroke my hair sweetly and wake me up,” he shared.

He further added, “Before the shoot, we all used to go to a mandir, which was built at a high peak in Darjeeling. Hum vahan jaake aashirwaad lete the aur darshan karke, fir shoot par aate the (We used to seek blessings from God and then come back for the shoot).” Farah continued and said, “Then, I got to know that there is also a church on our sets. So, I used to go there in the morning to pray for good weather during the shoot. If there were any clouds, the shoot had to be packed.”
