Sharvari also spoke about being a fan of Bollywoood star Deepika Padukone and recalled a moment when she worked as an intern on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Bajirao Mastani,” she revealed she had been given the task of opening the door at the exact moment when Deepika’s character walked in.

“We were shooting for the song ‘Deewani Mastani’ and we had to open the door, and she basically asked, ‘What’s your name, and I said my name is Sharvari, and she said, ‘Okay, Sharvari’.”
