Sumona further added that there was a time when she was not feeling good. Talking about the same, the actress mentioned that it was Archana Puran Singh, who made her feel comefortable with the same at that time. The actress further revealed she felt bad when Kapil made fun of her appearance. In her words:
"I remember Archana sat with me and said ‘why are you upset?’ I said ‘they’ve made fun of my mouth and my lips and everything, and then I didn’t forget the lines he forgot and he said something off script. I’m not a stand-up comedian; I can’t just come up with funny jokes like that. I mean, if I crack a joke, nobody will understand it."
In the same conversation, Sumona revealed how Archana comforted her and made her understand that rather than feeling bad about the jokes, she should laugh at them. The actress added that Archana also told her that she should love her lips because there are women out there who actually pay money to get lips like hers. In her words:
"If you can laugh at yourself, you will never feel humiliated. Secondly, about the lip or the mouth part, you have something that women I know pay money to get."
