But after getting Imtiaz Ali\'s suggestion, who has written the script, she got confidence that yes she could pull it off!

The actress was quoted saying, \"While I felt that Veronica was a lot more exciting and challenging to play as a character, I was also nervous about whether I would be able to pull it off. But it was Imtiaz Ali, the writer of our film, who suggested I play the role.\"
