The actress recalled how Disha shot the show even when she was 9 months pregnant. Jennifer disclosed, "Usko seedhi chadna mana tha toh usko strecher jaisa tha, uspe beetha ke upar lee jaate the. Kyunki upar shoot karna rehta tha koi ek interior mei. (She was not allowed to climb stairs. There was a stretcher-like thing, and she was made to sit on that, and then she was taken upstairs whenever they wanted to shoot in an interior)."
Jennifer emphasised that Disha is very family-oriented and said she knew this because they were vanity mates for five years. She recalled how Disha made small sacrifices on set for her by offering her the bed to sleep in the vanity, and so on.
Jennifer added that Disha never shared her personal matters with anyone, so even if she had disagreements with the makers, they would not have known. Mistry mentioned that Disha always wanted to get married, have children, and stay home with her family.
