"To have a co-actor who has the same understanding as you is a blessing. I am blessed to have that," Reem says. She told Pinkvilla that the two never argue and are always on the same page. They support each other and not just care about their individual performance but the whole scene. She also said that she'd love to do more music videos with him as they have superb chemistry.

Reem departed sharing what she feels about the Coronavirus pandemic and urges fans to stay safe and follow the guidelines. "I'm ashamed to say that initially, I took it casually. I thought its just a virus," she admitted but the actress now understands the seriousness of the issue and urges people to understand the same. "This is a disease if you catch it, you can't be with your loved ones. That's the scariest part for me," she says. She encouraged fans to keep sanitizing their hands, stay safe, stay indoors and keep healthy. She also admitted that she has started adapting to her quarantine life as she thinks it was a much-needed break from Mumbai's fast life. She misses the glamour world that she belongs to but is happy to be home.
