The actress plays a character called Aziza, who is a modern politically active and aware, Kashmiri girl. Bips says, "She is not dainty so don't expect a Kashmir-ki-kali kind of look."
In the film she wears plain salwar kurtas with PT shoes, and her head is covered with dupatta at all times, "I also wore lots of printed, colourful dupattas with plain earthy-coloured salwar kurtas. Everything was loose and oversized. I could wear nothing fitted in this film," and she wears no make up for most part, save the kaajal.
