Sidharth goes on to explain, "In fact, on the day when I was shooting the drunk scene, there were guests who had come over to meet me on set. I wanted to be in my character and to get it right. I started behaving as if I was drunk - from my vanity van till the set, I walked in a particular way, and the guests started chatting among themselves about my drunken state and got worried for me.
