Upasana Singh said, ‘After being offered a role in the film, I would go to the director’s office with my mother and sister. On one occasion, at around 11:30 pm, the director called me and asked, ‘Why do you always bring your mother and sister with you ? Come to the hotel tonight to meet me’. Upasana replied, ‘I will come tomorrow and listen to the story’.
