16-year-old Nitanshi Goyal, who impressed fans and critics with her performance in her debut film Missing Ladies, shared her experience of meeting Aamir for the first time in a recent conversation. In a conversation with Bombay Times, Nitanshi called Aamir a “magician” and revealed how Aamir praised her constantly in front of her mother and Kiran, and expressed his strong desire to play the role of Phool in the film. She recalled, “He said, ‘She is a diamond. She is going to be a superstar. We want her in the film anyhow.’ And that was it for me.”
In the same interview, Nitanshi spoke about her nervousness on the first day of shooting, when she had to perform a very emotional breakdown scene. Nitanshi said, “We shot it in one take. They said cut, and I looked up with my eyes filled with tears, and I saw Kiran ma’am had tears in her eyes. She started clapping, and the whole unit joined her. It was a memorable experience.”
In the Kiran Rao directorial, Nitanshi played the role of Phool Kumari, a young bride who gets lost during a train journey. Earlier, the actress opened up about her first meeting with megastar Amitabh Bachchan. During her appearance on Ranveer Allahabadia’s podcast, Nitanshi shared, “My first ad when I came to Mumbai was with Amitabh Bachchan sir – a very, very big superstar. And me being a huge fan, I said, ‘Yes. Getting to act with Amitabh sir. Oh my god.’ [When I came to Mumbai, my first ad was with Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, a very, very big superstar. And me being a huge fangirl, I was like, ‘Yeah. I get to act, and I get to act with Amitabh sir. Oh my god.’],
