What were the challenges while playing Gayatri?
There were no challenges to play Gayatri. Once I started understanding her there was a lot of mental retrospection because she is a very emotional and vulnerable character. She`s somebody whom everybody can relate to in terms of the love she has for her family.
Raksha Bandhan attempted to address the dowry menace. What`s your views on the subject?
My views are exactly what I said in them film, my last monologue, `Na dena sahi hain na lena sahi hain.`
Your thoughts about Raksha Bandhan being called regressive and the criticism that came the film`s way?
I feel people have their own perspective and it`s okay to have different views on it. Do watch the film with all your heart and decide what the film wants to say!
Was the box-office performance disappointing?
It was the fate of the film. I am happy how the film has done. I am Happy about the reviews, how audience is loving it and how the critics&nbsp;loved it.
What are your memories of working with Akshay Kumar and Anand L Rai?
My experience with Akshay and Anand sir was superb. I have been extremely honoured and fortunate to work with them. They are extremely good at what they have done and I feel privileged to get the opportunity to work with them.
