Recounting the first day of shoot

Suhana Khan said, "I guess all of that is very different from being in a Netflix film and being on a real film set as a working actor, I think, from the number of people on set, from the number of lights on set and the hair and makeup and all the chaos. And in the middle of this, I felt extremely insignificant. And, I guess I kind of knew that everything that everyone was doing around me was felicitating the director's vision, Zoya's vision and I guess knowing that on my first day and realising that, I felt extremely nervous."

When the host asked what does she love about Mumbai the young actor said, "I grew up here in Mumbai, did my schooling from here and now I'm working here. I am addicted to vada pav."

Suhana's biggest critic

She further added, that my parents Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan are her biggest source of guidance. "I wouldn't say my critic, but my biggest source of guidance is my parents. My entire family feels to chip in and help each other out."
