Trying to stay true to her character of Gauri Batra, the role required Hina to smoke in various scenes and she is a devout nonsmoker.
Speaking about her prep for the role, she said, “For somebody who runs away when someone smokes in the room, I’m that kind of a person, I tell people not to smoke in the same room. I tell them to please go out and smoke. But I have for this character, smoked for the first time ever and it was very difficult for a person to like me. But Adhyayan and my Director Ekant, have really helped me and gave me an open choice that if I want to, I can choose to not smoke and manage to shoot it without that. But I was like if it is written, it must be written for some purpose. If it makes the character look more beautiful and more complete, I decided to do it. It was difficult but I managed to do it.”
