She called each of them ‘genuinely nice people.’ The actress told the Gulf News, “With Allu Arjun sir, our energies match and make us feel comfortable. With Ranbir, we both don’t like nonsense. We focus on the characters and don’t talk about anything else. With Vicky, every day on set, I’d think, ‘This guy is amazing.’. It’s so rare to find people like them, and I’m really grateful to work with them.”
