Within a week’s time I got a call and was locked in for the part.”
Talking about her experience working with Hansal Mehta, Pallak said, “It was an amazing experience working with Hansal Sir, and I’m grateful to have commenced my journey in this industry with him. I absolutely loved being on sets, it felt like home. Hansal Sir gave us all a bit of freedom to explore our characters in our own unique manner. Before we were on sets, we had grueling workshops and sessions that went on for months. Working on the project has been an amazing and fruitful learning experience for me and I sincerely hope I’m a part of many other projects with him in the future.”
