The actress referred to Sanjay Dutt as a "paternal figure," describing the significant influence he had on her.

In preparation for the release of her next horror-comedy, The Bhootnii, Palak Tiwari has been thinking back on the memorable times she spent working with seasoned actors like Sanjay Dutt.

The actress referred to Sanjay Dutt as a "paternal figure," describing the significant influence he had on her.

She said, “Sanjay Sir has this nurturing, giving vibe. Even when he wasn’t in the shot, he’d stay back just to give us our cues. Someone of his stature doesn’t need to do that, but he did—and it meant a lot. It made us feel seen and supported.”

She disclosed that he would stay on set to provide direction and cues even if he wasn't needed, demonstrating his kindness and dedication to the group. Palak underlined how important it was to them to have someone of his calibre offer them support.

Palak also praised her co-star Aasif Khan, saying that he had serious acting skills and a lively off-camera persona that kept the set buzzing with positive energy.

The Bhootnii is preparing to provide not only heartwarming behind-the-scenes memories but also spine-tingling moments and laughter thanks to a talented blend of veterans and newcomers. The movie is scheduled to open in theatres the following month.
