“The first time I saw myself in the mirror after the prosthetics were done, I couldn’t stop staring! It was such a strange feeling because I knew it was me, but I couldn’t quite recognise the person looking back. What I really enjoyed was the entire process of getting there,” Wamiqa, who has showcased her prowess in films such as Bhooth Bangla, and Pati Patni Aur Woh Do to name a few, told media.

For the star, playing Jyoti Nikam was a unique experience.

“Playing Jyoti Nikam was a very different experience for me, and I’m glad I got to explore a side of acting that I hadn’t experienced before.”
