“Just two days ago, we shot a very challenging scene in Mussoorie. The temperature had dropped to around 12 degrees Celsius, and it was raining heavily. I had to be completely drenched for the sequence, and I honestly felt frozen,” Rukhsar shared.

Despite the weather, the actress didn’t let the discomfort slow her down. With decades of experience behind her, Rukhsar reflected on how the moment echoed her debut film.

“It instantly took me back to my first film, Yaad Rakhegi Duniya, where my first-ever song was filmed in the rains of Ooty, also in freezing conditions. These moments may look magical on screen, but they’re incredibly demanding to shoot,” she recalled.
