She told Times of India, “I am super thrilled as working with Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty was my dream.” Talking about working with Singh, she described the feeling like this, “Well, when the work is on, both of us would be very-very different.”
She added, “When the camera rolls, we would be well-behaved and extremely focused. So, Rohit did not have any issues with us (laughs!)” And she also revealed she was nervous and said, “The thing is, when you finally get to work with someone who you have looked up to, the experience, in the beginning, is quite intimidating. I would in fact be nervous on sets.”
Fernandez made her Bollywood debut in 2009 with Aladin and went on to do films like Housefull 2 and 3, Kick, Brothers, Dishoom, A Gentleman, and was also seen in Netflix’s Mrs. Serial Killer. For the uninitiated, she's also about to make her Hollywood debut soon. Fernandez will make her Hollywood debut with upcoming anthology feature "Women Stories".
