I am very happy I did it as now if I see wrestling, I will come to know how it happens. I am grateful for the opportunity. I was sure we will not use body-double. I felt if I have learnt something, I want to show it properly. I worked hard and I am happy I got to do it.”

Despite looking effortless on screen, Sharma did explain that she was under a lot of supervision, and had enough training before the film started shooting. “I had a good team of trainers.
