“I have meetings with them every month because my body changes every month. I reduced the number of working hours in the third month. But I did three dance sequences while I am pregnant. They keep asking me what I will be comfortable with and what I won’t be okay with. The makers are also giving a thought about how I can continue to work in the storyline. I am also involved creatively with suggestions. They have faith in my creativity and they let me take the lead, that’s really sweet of them.”
