On Landing Valeria Richards

Yashaswini Dayama further said, “Even though I was so afraid because she’s such an intense and complex character. I got a callback and was told, okay, Valeria Richards, are you ready? I was like, oh my god, are you serious? Because I like, like everybody else, I see myself as this tiny person who’s like, very like, whatever coy, intimate and whatever. And Valeria’s a badass.

I think that the first time I did an ad, I was actually one of the featured cast members. I wasn’t even seen. It was a two-day ad. It was for Lez. Saif Ali Khan was in it. And I was one of the many people in the background. I was never seen. And I got 5000 rupees per day. What did you do with that money? I don’t know. I don’t remember. I was 16, 17, 10,000 rupees in two days. That was half my pocket money for the month. Not even half. I used to get 15,000 rupees for the month. So that was mind-blowing for me.”
