Confronting the long lost memories was not less than a nightmare.

Refraining to share the deep buried secrets from her life, the actress admitted that she never wanted to face those incidents again.

Continuing, she also revealed that somewhere she knew that to get into the layer of the character, she will need to dig deep into her past and confront the pain that she had gone through earlier. At last, while concluding her experience of playing the character, the actress said that the film took her to hell and back because it constantly kept her on the edge and it wasn’t easy for her to get into that mode every time before every shot. In 2016, the novel was adapted into a Hollywood offering, featuring Emily Blunt.
