Ayushmann Khurrana recalled how Tahira reacted when he told her that he wanted to be an actor. "She started laughing and crying at...same time, thinking, 'Tum actor kaise ban sakte ho? Shakal dekho apni (How can you become an actor? Look at your face?)'" he said. "Even she didn't believe in me...I lived on a lot of self-belief," Ayushmann added.
