    Vaani also said that everything began when she came to Mumbai for a shoot and came to know about the role. She said further, "I went and met Shanoo Sharma (casting director for Yash Raj Films) who was looking to cast a newcomer for a film. She did not like my pictures. She asked me if I know anything about acting. She also made me dance for two hours. She did not seem impressed with me at all.” Delhi-based Vaani, who has been a model and a face behind many brands, also said, "I feel blessed to have met the right person at the right time.” We wish young Vaani good luck in her new journey.
