Bijou Thaangjam said that he didn't have a great experience auditioning with Shanoo Sharma. Mary Kom actor talks about audition experience with Shanoo Sharma Bijou Thaangjam shared that he was asked to perform a scene in front of a Mumbai café. "@talwarisha I hear you! My very first film audition was with her, for Byomkesh Bakshy. I wasn't fluent in Hindi, not very confident, but hopeful to give it my best.

I do remember saying I can't do it, and of course I never got the role, but at least I didn't give in to the weird ask and surely didn't cry at a restaurant for a role!'
