The actress further revealed that the director probably does not take her seriously and laughs off her request. Sharing why she is keen on working with him again, the Manmarziyaan actress recalled that Neeraj Pandey was one of the few directors who believed in her in the beginning of her career. She recalled, “Because he is one of those very few people who believed in me at the very beginning stage of my career. Like who give someone a full-fledged film with titled role with just a 7-minute role in baby? That was too good to be true kind of moment that happened with someone like Neeraj Pandey who believed that this girl who had a 7-minute role deserves to have a film for herself.”

I keep showing my face now and then so he doesn’t forget me.” Neeraj Pandey is known for directing films like MS Dhoni, Baby, A Wednesday, Vikram Vedha and others.
