In her statement, Pooja said, "When I entered the industry, I enjoyed playing a positive character onscreen. However, I wanted to improve my acting skills further and tried to audition for a negative shade. I still remember people telling me Pooja we can't cast you for a negative role because your face won't be accepted by the audience as a negative character.” She explained how she wanted to get better with her acting skills and hence tried negative roles but makers said that her face doesn’t suit the vibe of a negative character.

She further adds that later she got a few chances to play the antagonist and enjoyed those roles for how they added the spice to the show and involved lesser crying. Singh says, “Later, luckily, I got a few chances to play an antagonist and I loved it as I feel there is a scope for improvement and performance. You are also not bound to any restrictions as such. Another reason why I enjoyed a negative role because it has a lot of tadka, you can do your makeup as your wish and there is no crying (laughs)”.
