The actress said she prefers to maintain her distance from such people once their professional association comes to an end. However, she recalled her experience of working with in Singh vs Kaur 2, saying the two were supportive of each other throughout the project.
Talking to The Free Press Journal, Shehnaaz addressed how she reacts when a co-star feels insecure about her. She said, “Mere sath koi insecurity wali feeling karega, main to bahot door rehti hoon in sab cheezon se.” She added, “Phir to karwa lo acting… phir acting tak hi matlab hai, uske baad mere muh bhi mat lagna.”
Shehnaaz further recalled working with Gippy and said that they always supported each other and even exchanged suggestions on how to move ahead in their careers. Explaining how insecurity among co-stars can affect a film, she said, “To jahan ye insecurity ya mahaul bigad jaate hain na, to wahan ki phir energy aur phir wo affect padta hai film mein.”
The actress added that such negative dynamics can ultimately affect the film, as insecurity between co-stars can have a direct impact on the overall atmosphere and the project.
