She’s so cool I can’t. I didn’t realise the actress was as cool if not cooler than the character, who was already bomb

[@sundaskhan2545]

Lilly seems totally at ease with her This is a good interview

[@uchooberonthelose]

Such a cutie! I am so proud of her! Her parents must be super supportive for her to get this far, given how our community gives so much shit for doing anything out of the ordinary

[@do8638]

[@tahmenaferdous5213]

I guess there’s a unwritten rule abt getting pictures with celebs at ur auditions. But Maitreyi knows to take best of the situation

[@tarushinarang651]

So does the rule say to take pictures or not take pictures??
