"It's quite an intense journey for one girl to go through," she said.
Elaborating more on the role, the 27-year-old actress revealed that Trishna was a tough role to play because it's so different from what she is in real life. he actress admitted that she has a very outspoken personality and "just can't kind of lay back and just get bombarded with things that I don't believe in."
"So I guess that was really hard for me, especially because we didn't really have a solid script," she added. (ANI)
