What did Taha say?
In the interview, Taha said, “She sometimes takes a very subtle approach. I have worked with her and I know that as an actress she has tried her best. I really thought people wouldn’t give me any love… but not the kind I’m getting. So, to be honest, the audience may react in a very unexpected way. As far as her performance is concerned, I used to stay with her on the set and she was also on the set.
He further added, “You can’t compare someone who is new, much newer than me, not with Manisha ma’am or Sonakshi Sinha or even Aditi (Rao Hydari). Manisha ma’am has been there for ages. He has worked with great directors and great actors. Therefore, people learn over time. I am sure if the audience can see her flaws then I am sure she will perform better. I know she wants to learn.
