"The whole process of filmmaking has changed. it has evolved drastically which also gave me jitters, " she said.
So what took her so long to do a full-fledged film?
"A lot of offers came my way all this while but this script made me sure that I should take the project.
"The role that I play in the film is of a middle class wife. It was very challenging. My look is also very different in the film, " the actress said.
The actress also said that she is open to do a film with her son Ranbir Kapoor.
"I would love to do a film with my son, but that would happen when the right script and subject comes our way. In fact, a film starring all three of us would be the most beautiful family affair, " she said.
