Shruti says she put all her mind into understanding her character, named Natasha. "When I got this part that (inhibitions over the intimate scene) was not really the focus. What I really put my intention and hard work into was in discovering Natasha as a homosexual woman. For me, it was interesting to dive into that psychology of that woman's sexual identity," she explained.

She says she knew the scene would be treated right, and that it was done with "right intention" and "nothing sleazy". "All these things I was aware of, and when the moment came I went for it. I didn't think much because as that character I needed to be comfortable and own up identity as a lesbian and that's what I intended to do," Shruti said.
