Chandra) and I was like Chandra ji I don’t think I can shoot anymore. I am tired, you can’t take my close-ups. "

So you know those 4 changes that I am walking on like a ramp walk those were done between 6:30 and 10:30 that morning, and we packed up at 10:30 in the morning. So we shot all day, all night, 10:30 in the morning we packed up, and the song was done, but the song was shot for over a few days," she shared on a concluding note.
