Overview

  • She says actors often changed behind bushes during outdoor shoots and walked long distances to use a bathroom.
  • She contrasts the 1990s lack of clean washrooms and vanity vans with today's sets featuring dozens of trailers and advanced equipment.
  • She recounts improvising during location work by stopping at roadside shops or asking nearby homeowners for a place to change.
  • She describes a technology shift from dubbing-only workflows to real-time monitoring, first seeing herself on a monitor during the 'Dance of Envy' in Dil To Pagal Hai.
  • She presents the reflections as someone who debuted at 16, has worked for about 32 years, and feels grateful to have witnessed the industry's evolution.
