But I missed out on some projects because of date issues. I remember I was supposed to be a part of a Diljit Dosanjh film, and the producer at that time was very inclined to take me. The shoot was happening during Covid, and I remember I had to be in Canada, and they wanted 40 days for the shoot. I could only give 15 days because I was shooting for Choti Sarrdaarni and you know how in television you cannot pull out too many projects.' She revealed how, though she missed out on the opportunity then, she got Shaunki Sardar because of that film's producers.

For an actor, it's very important to get appreciated for your craft. It's feeling surreal.' She revealed that her family was thrilled to know that she is getting to work with Babbu Maan. She further talked about how the actor appreciated her for her work in the film.

But you know there are people you have that preconceived notion and there are such wonderful people who see for your talent. I think I was fortunate that this project also panned out because they saw the merit in me and didn't have a stereotypical view point. But I am sure any actor transitioning from television to films will tell the same thing.'

I looked back, and this guy was looking straight ahead—not making eye contact or even acknowledging my presence. I started getting a little anxious, and thought, okay, let me just change my position. Then, I felt someone touch my hand and it was the same guy again. He had moved from behind along with me, then again he did that to touched my butt. I could feel tears well up in my eyes, I was in such a state of shock.' Then, a female lawyer at the court observed Nimrit in an uncomfortable state.
