In the same interview, she has talked about her experience while shooting for the popular series despite being pregnant, she has revealed, “There is nothing common between Jojo and me. I was pregnant at that time, so it was a little difficult too because normally you want to be happy and stay away from negativity but here I had to drown myself into negativity because Jojo was very unforgiving and bitter. It was challenging as an actor on-screen as well as off-screen.” (Also Read: Esha Deol Shares Pictures From Her Sister-in-law, Tanya Gupta Takhtani's 'Godh Bharai' Ceremony)

In an earlier interview with the Mid-Day, the doting mommy had bared her heart out on postpartum depression and what she did when she wasn’t at her emotional best. The Sacred Games actress had stated, “Since I am expressive, I could vent. I am not diplomatic and am also lucky to be blessed with a partner who shares everything with me. One shouldn’t have to repress themselves. [Depression] starts from a single instance, but becomes a larger problem. Throughout my pregnancy, I kept myself in an emotionally-sound place. I had knowledge about what was going on with me, and the baby.”
