Recalling those times, Neha Sargam continued that she decided to perform "swachch kaam" in the second season after they convinced her to play a clean role in Season 2. The actress added that the makers played "smartly," as they didn't discuss what happens in the third season with her.

In the same interview, Neha Sargam spilled the beans about having apprehensions about her intimate scenes in Mirzapur Season 3. She recalled meeting director Gurmmeet at his office for the role. The actress recalled that she underwent a "coma"-like situation after learning that she had intimate scenes to play.
