Actress Ayesha Khan, who gained widespread attention for her energetic performance in the dance number “Shararat” from the blockbuster film Dhurandhar, has been candid in recent interviews about both her personal experiences on set and how she feels about being compared to established performers.

Ayesha recently expressed her joy in an interview, sharing that she cried happy tears over the immense success of Shararat. She also recalled the challenges faced during shooting. She told Pinkvilla, "It was two days of shoot. It was so hectic, I was on my period during the shoot and you know you're not looking your best because you're bloated and you're not at your best. Kaash I was at my best. It was so much of work for two days. Someone was asking how was it on set because we did not know what was happening and who was there on set."

Ayesha mentioned that the shoot was quite busy since the wedding scene featuring Ranveer Singh and Sara Arjun had to be filmed within those two days, which plays in the background of Shararat. "There was so much we had to do and there was no time. We were so tired, our bones were aching after dancing so much. I was feeling so overwhelmed and it was also because I was on my period and may be my emotions were hitting me too much. So, I just couldn't control and I cried. It was Khushi ke aansu." Ayesha added.

In the same interview, she further talked about the comparisons with Nora Fatehi and Tamannaah Bhatia. Reacting to the chatter, Ayesha said, "I have seen people who compare me with others. I’ve seen some reels of me being compared to Nora Fatehi or Tamannaah Bhatia. I feel like I would never compare myself to them. I’m always in awe whenever I look at them. Such wonderful women doing such great things in life. I could never do what Nora is doing; she is incredible."

The actress also took the opportunity to clarify rumours of any tension with her Shararat co-star Krystle D’Souza, stating that there is no conflict and that they share mutual respect.
