I actually shot it myself because there was social distancing at that time. I would place the phone on a chair and film it myself, and they selected me. I was definitely a bit hesitant because it had been a few years since I had worked, and I told my husband, “Have I forgotten how to act?” He was like, “Are you crazy? If anyone can do it, you can do it.” He encouraged me to do Naagin.”
