‘It was Film producer Ronnie Lahiri, another Shillongite who spotted her talent at a young age … she was a little scared as she didn’t know any Hindi. But since then, she took up Hindi classes and [did] most of her dialogues in Hindi..
Andrea recalls, “When my dad called me and asked if I wanted to act, we both started laughing. He said to give the auditions a try anyway. After the auditions, they called and said I got selected. But, I took it lightly and it only struck me the day I met Amitabh Bachchan. I was a total wreak. But overall, it was a great experience.” The challenging part was speaking in Hindi, says the actor who learnt Hindi on the go during the shooting. “Saying it out loud required a lot of rehearsing. It was natural maybe because I was myself and this film is so realistic I didn’t really need to act. I just needed to feel and react.”

[edit] Learning Hindi
Her lack of understating Hindi very well did come across as a hindrance initially, especially while she was doing her workshops with her co-star Piyush Mishra, but Taapsee and Kirti were always a help.
"They helped me a lot. I used to ask them 'How do I do this, how do I say this' because there were quite a few dialogues I didn't understand especially when Piyush Mishra was speaking. He speaks so fast I couldn't understand what he was saying," she quipped. (DNA India)/ (FirstPost)
