She further added, “Aamir is very easy to work with. He is a very giving actor. Also, a lot of my wrestling scenes were with Nitesh sir. I did a lot of scenes without him. But when he is on set, he is very professional and comes on time. He is a producer’s actor. That is what I have learnt from him. Every second on set costs. If you are one second late, it costs money. I learnt that I need to be on time, learn my lines and be aware. There is a habit that you wear a costume to set and take it with you because it looks nice. But people forget that somebody else has paid for it. Either you give them the money or not take it because it is not fair to the producers. So that’s what I have learnt.”
