She told IANS, “I have always, I don't know why, but I have felt that comedy is my genre. And I have always longed, wished and prayed that I get to work in a comedy film. So when this came, I was like, finally, I'm getting to do what I wanted to do.
Maybe people don't know that side of me, because in real life also, I have that comic bone in me”. ‘Ek Chatur Naar’ is a black comedy thriller film written by Himanshu Tripathi and directed by Umesh Shukla.
It is set against the backdrop of a quirky small-town Indian landscape, the story follows a seemingly charming woman with a naivety that masks her razor-sharp wit. Ambitious and cunning, she effortlessly outsmarts everyone around her.

We don't know how we spent those 40 days. Even today, if you ask me about which film set I would like to rewind, and relive, I will say it’s the sets of ‘Ek Chatur Naar’. I'm praying to God, and not because I'm pressurizing him to give me work.
I'll ask him. It's my duty. It's my right, now. And I'm hoping he'll give me work very soon. But that experience. The one I'm hungry for”.Presented by T-Series, ‘Ek Chatur Naar’ is set to release on September 12, 2025.
