In a recent interview with a popular news portal, Naila revealed the response she has received so far. Naila opened up on the praises until now she received, "I have been a little bit over the moon with the response. I feel it's special after putting in so much work and being so true to what we were trying to show the audiences. I think people have really caught on to those little nuances and it feels amazing."
What in her opinion was the most outstanding attribute about Ananya? "One thing that really stood out for me was her ability to be empathetic. She has come from Harvard. She studied her LLM over there. But she doesn't come into the Patparganj District Court with this attitude where she's ready to look down upon anybody. That could have easily come across in mannerisms and in the way of talking. But, I think it was so essential to make it organic. Empathy becomes the foundation of a character like Ananya."
So, how much of Ananya is drawn from Naila? "I felt Ananya was an extension to who Naila is. I was glad I could bring certain aspects of my life to this character. It was essential for me to accept the fact that okay, this is a space I'm in."
Naila received appreciation from audiences for the scenes she shared with her co-star Nidhi Bisht, who plays Sujata Negi. Naila revealed about the sisterhood they share, "What I really love about what Sujata and Ananya share is an unspoken sisterhood. Despite both characters sharing their equal quirks, there is something so innately human."
The Thappad actress also praises her veteran co-star, Ravi Kishan. She stated, "When I met Sir, it was at the table reading. He walked in with a child-like innocence and his demeanour suggested that he was going to have fun with his role. We immediately let our guards down. Because here is a man who has done over 700-750 films, yet there is this excitement he holds towards his job. That freshness was needed. The energy he brought to our sets was amazing."
