The actress promoted at a New Delhi multiplex today. Janhvi spoke to PTI about Mili’s shooting and how it affected her mental health.

Janhvi Kapoor said she dreamed of being locked in a cold, dark room. “The film affected my mental health. I would come home from the shoot and dream that I was still in the freezer. “The film took a toll on my mental health. I would come back home from the shoot and I would go to sleep and dream that I was still in the freezer. I fell ill and I was on severe painkillers for two-three days and even the director was unwell,” the actress told PTI. The GoodLuck Jerry actor added that spending 15 hours crying in a freezer is not glamorous. Janhvi shot Mili in a -15° freezer. She said she gained 7.5 kg for the role.
