But I had to work real hard to maintain my body in shape and happy that it shows in the photos, " she added.

Little do they know that there's something ancient and dark that remains still, hidden and silent in the old house where Pia grew up. It can only wait, having been concealed in the shadows for years and all it wants to do is to strike again!
As the darkness spreads, things start to get worse and the spirit tries to annihilate everything. Now Vic and Pia must race against time to find out the secret which will save their lives.
Will their love gather the strength to survive the malevolent spirit or will they witness the most horrifying truths of their lives in a doomed attempt to save everything and everyone that means anything to the both of them.
"I have done glamorous roles as well as de-glam roles in the past but with 'Help' you will see me in a role which is much more acting oriented It is the role of a lifetime and I had to prepare really hard to inhabit the skin of the character I was to play, " Mugdha said.
She further said: "I am sure people will like my sensuous side as well as my acting. My character had to be really authentic and I must admit that it was a spooky experience too as the makeup was such that it gave me the jitters.
