In an interview to Mumbai Mirror, Minissha divulged details of how she was introduced to poker. The actress said that a friend of hers, who returned from the US, 'randomly' taught her the game during one of the Diwali celebrations. 

"I shied away from it because playing cards wasn't something that interested me. But as you get to this game, the complexities and sheer need for being on the ball give you a feeling of achievement for a hand well played," she added.
