A Co-Star Who Shines Naturally

I wasn’t going to be surprised, but she still surprised me.” He praised her innate sense of performance, highlighting her ability to portray emotions authentically.

Vishal recalled the emotional scenes they filmed together: “On the sets, we had to do a few emotional scenes, and she would cry without glycerin in every shot. Also, in the moments where she had to feel, she would really touch those emotions.” Her commitment to delivering genuine performances left a strong impression on him.

Intelligence and Beauty

Beyond her acting abilities, Vishal also spoke about Aneet’s intelligence and charm. “Even when I used to hear her in interviews during the Salaam Venky promotions, I realized how intelligent she was and she looks so beautiful. She has entered the industry at the right time,” he said, appreciating her presence both on and off-screen.
