She told Bollywood Bubble, "You know what I do when I wake up in the morning? I touch my stomach, I'm only touching my stomach, is it flat today? It's a pressure that I have put on myself and I know it's gonna affect me in the longer run. People don't believe that I hadn't eaten for 2 days for a shoot. For this shoot also I haven't eaten."

The fiery actress then went on to say that she doesn't want to send the wrong message to her fans. She also said that she's not able to explain her thought process at the moment but maybe in the future she'll be able to.
