Also recalling memories of camping with them last year, she shares how they've all been friends since school days and continue to share the same bond even today after all these years.

Talking about the same, Tahira Kashyap Khurrana says, "Socha Na Tha, our first play was conceptualised by me and we all sat to write it. It was directed by Ravi Yuvraj Panthi. Rochak gave the music and played a part in it too. Ayushmann did the choreography. There was a time, we had a small fight, so he used to use choreography as a means to get close to me and make it up to me. Our favourite hangout joint was CITCO's stop and stare at sector 10 Chandigarh. All of us used to meet there after attending our respective colleges and used to jam in there and do rehearsals along with theatre exercises. It was a free of cost place so all of us could afford that and it wasn't ever crowded back then so we could rehearse in peace."

Meanwhile, Tahira Kashyap Khurrana has recently finished writing her fourth book titled 'The 12 Commandments Of Being A Woman'. The book is a quirky take towards the experiences of being and becoming a woman.
