Then came this low,” she shared.

The actress further mentioned, “Then came Amar Singh Chamkila. It gave me love, admiration, accolades, nominations, and awards – some of which all came back into my life.

“It is the craziest whodunnit that you have watched. I usually take a lot of time reading scripts, but (when) this script came to me, I finished it in two hours. I finished all the episodes because I couldn’t stop reading them. I was like ‘Who is it? What’s happening?’ It was like a suspense novel. It wasn’t like a script,” she mentioned.

And after reading the script, the actress knew she had to do Talaash. Calling it a ‘crazy’ show, Parineeti mentioned that one would want to binge-watch it once they begin watching the series. “Because you’ll want to know the answer.
