The Process included 2 months of hardcore and knowledgeable workshop in the villages of Nawada and Nalanda district of Bihar. It involved both physical and mental transformation that helped us build character in such a realistic way. I Lived in the village, learned the local language, accent and tones. I have no makeup in the film. Director asked me to stay in the open sun almost every day before and during shooting. He wanted me to tanned our bodies. I used to walk in sun heat for hours on the sand of dry river. Before the shoot day, I was almost looked like a mushar village girl. I have learnt a lot from this film and its process. Learnt to work under pressure and to stay calm in tough situations during the shoot as there was a lot of hurdles during the shoot for example bad weather, excessive wind (tuffan), etc. Bhor has changed my life and has given it a new direction.

On sharing about the film she says, "Bhor is a powerful and impactful film. It's a realistic film, which depicts the story of a girl 'Budhani' who belongs to the musaahar community from Bihar who are poor, backward, eat rats, rear pigs and work on the fields. She is fond of studying and is different from the other girls of her community as she is strong and mature at such a young age. Bhor portraits her struggle and strong will."
Talking about her role of Budhani she adds, "She stood up for basic right i.e, right to education, dignity and sanitation. Budhani is an ambitious girl but because of the family's pressure, she got married before the legal age. She wished to continue her education even after the marriage and her husband 'Sugan' gives her a relief and hope and promises to let her study ahead. This shows the most important traits of her characters that is keen to achieve something in life as education can bring a positive change and growth. After her marriage, she faced the hurdle of having no toilet in her new home and she finds it very embarrassing to go out in the dawn. This leads to her fight for sanitation. Different parallels and struggles for right to sanitation have been showcased in the entire film. Her efforts create a national movement and inspired the whole country. My role is an inspiring character for all the struggling girls of India. It gives voice, power and inner strength to them."
On sharing about receiving such an overwhelming response she shares, "I am very happy and proud that Bhor is receiving extreme overwhelming response from the audience. People are telling me that I have beautifully portrayed Budhani's character on screen and had given Justice to the story. I am super excited for Bhor and touched that the audience has liked it a lot.
My film received the same response in IFFI, Goa and in other festivals around the world. Now on MX player, we are receiving Same response. Bhor is trending on top on MX player. Director Kamakhya Narayan Singh's Bhor is my debut film and audience response is amazing. Time is changing audiences are aware and intelligent towards the current issues. For an Actor, the best gift is audiences love for their work and the success of their film.
