Nikita missed some of the on-ground promotions of the film after her COVID-19 diagnosis. As per a report in Mid-day, Nikita said, "I am feeling pretty good and I am in complete isolation. Since I tested positive, I couldn't be a part of the promotions offline but it's fine. I need all the love and prayers, more for the movie and less for my recovery since I have recovered pretty much and am doing the time currently."
Speaking about how she approached her character, Nikita said that there was no reference for her to look at. She mentioned that unlike other actors in the film, her role was the least tapped into. Nikita was given more freedom and so she brought her own inputs which according to her would do justice to Priya Shah.
Nikita shot to fame with her role in the film Kabir Singh with Shahid Kapoor. Her character in Akshay Kumar's Gold also brought her into the limelight.
Nikita will be seen opposite Aditya Seal in the upcoming dance musical drama titled Rocket Gang. Choreographer Bosco Martis will make his directorial debut with the film.
