During an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Vidya shared, "It used to happen, and it was bound to happen. Main center mein hun, mujhe aage rehna hai (I want to be in the center, I want to be in the front). All that happened." 
Vidya also talked about how there's sisterhood between all the actresses today but during the shoot, there was a sense of competition regarding whose character will get more weightage.

Shah Rukh Khan helped all the girls make the most of their role
Talking about how Shah Rukh Khan proved to be a great support on the sets Vidya said that he was so nice and accommodating and considered the team like his own. "He was such an influence on all of us at that time. Many of the girls in the team were new. They hardly knew about the light and angle during their shots. They were just standing there and saying their lines. But he (SRK) was instrumental in saying, 'If you stand like this, you will get better light and your face will be visible'. He helped with making the shots better."
