“Till now, I have understood that the character of young Kashibai was very pampered and protected as a child, just like I am.The makers have also put in a lot of effort to make me look as close to Kashi as we possibly could, and I really love my look.I hope the viewers will be able to see and learn about Kashibai’s story and journey through me,” she concluded
