The actor revealed, "It is a classic Shah Rukh Khan love story scene. I was just glad to be a part of it and not let it down but let me tell you a good trivia about that day that we shot that scene it was my birthday. It was my birthday and I went everywhere on the set I kept saying this is my birthday gift. This is the best birthday gift ever that I get to do a classic Shah Rukh Khan romantic sequence on my birthday. I will remember it for the rest of my life like what better birthday, than to run and hug him on record in a 48-frame round trolley."

Meanwhile, upon signing the film, Taapsee was immediately informed that she would have to undergo extensive training in wrestling for her role in 'Dunki'. Before the release of the film, the actress recently spoke with SRK and the director of ‘Dunki', Rajkumar Hirani.

"The first thing I was told when I signed the film was that I will have to prepare for ‘Dunki'. They said your Punjabi and Hindi is great but you will also have to learn wrestling. So I said, I will finally become a heroine and romance Shah Rukh Khan after doing 5-6 sports movies," Taapsee said.

The actress has previously underwent rigorous training for roles in films like ‘Rashmi Rocket', ‘Soorma', ‘Shabaash Mithu' and 'Saand Ki Aankh,' showcasing her commitment to authenticity in portraying characters.
