Starting her caption with 'You always remember your start and where it all began', she continued, ''I could’ve been a complete blooper if it wasn’t for my filmmaker #ManeeshSharma. Being a shy and a quiet person .. I was rather given an opportunity to play a fierce part in my first who was so much more fearless, confident and gutsy. Thank you Adi, Maneesh & my dearest Shanoo for giving me this wonderful opportunity.. I was so happy to be your Tara!''

She also gushed about her co-stars and expressed her gratitude for helping her throughout the filming process.
