"I am taking baby steps," starts off Kriti Sanon, who has begun shooting for the Laxman Utekar-directed film Mimi, where she plays a surrogate mother. Given the theme, the actor says that she is still uncertain about how the character will shape up, although she has prepared for the part.

A few days into the shoot in Mandawa, Sanon says she is still getting the lay of the land with respect to her character, "I feel wobbly because I am questioning myself at every point. Once a scene is over [and I get a grip on my character], that's when I feel stable. The first day has gone well, even though I had butterflies in my stomach." She adds that skilled co-stars help "boost confidence". Sanon is teaming up with her Bareilly Ki Barfi co-star Pankaj Tripathi, who plays her father in the Dinesh Vijan production. "Working with talented co-actors invariably lifts your performance."
