"I had been practicing vegetarianism for a while, and when I told the team about it, they were amazed," said Menen. She elaborated that the special chef who was invited to cook the Hyderabadi delicacies also made vegetarian versions of those dishes for the shoot.

"There was so much Hyderabadi food. Finally, at one point, I was like, just give me the chicken, I'll just eat it, it's fine, I have to look authentic. I keep telling them, they turned me [into]a non-vegetarian. There was too much to eat!"
