<p>Speaking about the same, Vidya shares, "The character of Vidya Vincent had a lot of interesting layers, which was something I'd never portrayed before. Her actions spoke louder than her words, in a very obvious way. I had to exercise the expression of non-expression. My expressions have to convey what I am feeling. There are people who are completely inscrutable, and I guess this character is one of them. It was a different kind of experience as an actor."</p>

She is reticent, she doesn’t say much, and she doesn’t smile much, which is not me as a person, nor it is like any of the characters that I've played so far. I’ve played characters, all of them strong, but strong in very other ways. Whereas Vidya’s got a very strong will, but she doesn’t like to engage with the world."</p>
