She further said, “This is what my mum used to say that I look like Kareena Kapoor. Did everyone hear my mom? I’m telling you, maa ki dua is always something that will come true. Because she has literally said this every time that ‘whenever I watch you on screen, mujhe lagta hai ki you have glimpses of Kareena Kapoor Khan.’ And I was like, me? I don’t see it. But then if the world sees it and my mother sees it, it’s right.”

Tamannaah Bhatia in Dhurandhar?

As per media reports, Tamannaah Bhatia was initially supposed to star in the Shararat song instead of Ayesha Khan and Krystle D’Souza. In an interview with Free Press Journal, Krystle reacted to the claims and said, “Honestly, I mean, I did see it, and I felt like she would have killed it in her own way. She would have owned it, and, you know, sometimes what’s written for whoever it’s written is what’ll happen. You can’t change anything like that. Approached or not approached, I’m sure she would have nailed it. Like, there’s no way that she wouldn’t kill it. And even if Ayesha was alone in the song, she would have killed it. If I was alone in the song, I would have killed it. Everyone would have done what they could do best.”
