She expressed, “The toughest part was to learn the language. The workshop focused mainly on language training, especially the dialogues. You can’t learn Malayalam in a week. So, I limited myself to learning my dialogues. Learning the nuances, grammar, punctuations, stresses, and pauses in the Malayalam language was interesting.”
