Nitanshi faced challenges portraying Phool Kumari, sharing her commitment to authenticity by undergoing a remarkable transformation, including tanning her skin for the role. This dedication reflects her commitment to delivering a compelling performance, Transforming into Phool Kumari was a truly immersive experience," Nitanshi shared. "I intensely prepared to ensure authenticity in my performance and appearance, aiming to embody a girl from Nirmal Paresh in 2001. With naturally soft skin, I tanned it for three months to achieve the desired rugged texture, spending 2-3 hours daily under sunlight. Inspired by Aamir Sir's commitment during Dangal, I followed suit to honor my craft. It took 5 months post-shoot to revert to my original skin, all to maintain the film's and my character's authenticity."
