The actress made a massive debut on OTT and is looking at sweeping many awards off this year. Amid all the praise and applause, Manisha has thanked the makers for taking her (a 50 plus woman and a cancer survivor at that) in a high-profile web series.

Manisha's physical fears

Manisha also revealed that before she began shooting she had doubts on whether she would be able to endure long shoots, heavy costumes, and intense shooting schedules after having been through cancer. She added that the fountain sequence was one she found to be the most challenging as she had to sit in the fountain for over 12 hours. She added that while Bhansali had ensured that the water remained warm and clean, it turned muddy eventually as many art director's kept entering it.
