She plays Iram, the sister of actor Emraan Hashmi’s character.

The story struck a personal chord with her, given its roots in a real-life case from her hometown. “When the film came my way and I was onboard, I was like, ‘Oh! This story is a real-life incident of the famous Shah Bano case, and it took place in Indore in the '80s.' It's my home town, so I had already heard about it,” the 38-year-old actor says.
