The 35-year-old actress, who is currently gearing up to participate in the stunt-based reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, talked about the part she played in Barfi. Sumona shared that they had no script for the film, but the idea was to work with Anurag Basu. The Bade Achhe Lagte Hain fame added that she took up the film thinking it was a 'crash course' for an actor. 

"I knew I'll get to work with Ranbir and with Priyanka. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a scene (with them), but it was amazing to be a brick on the wall. You learn so much by just having a film like Barfi’ on your resume,” she said.
