Owing to her Bengali roots, Johar's choice was definitely an appropriate one, but Sharmila Ji couldn't collaborate with him on this. Speaking about the reason behind the same, the actress said that it all happened during the height of Covid. She said– They hadn't really grappled with Covid at that time. They didn't know the vaccine... We were not vaccinated. You know, after my cancer. So, they didn't want me to take that risk.
