Sheeba said, "I was tired, it was middle of the night. I came to sets after doing two shifts. I was sleeping in my car, wrapped up in a blanket. I stepped out of the car for the shot, at that time there were no vans. The director was about to explain the shot. Aur mud ke usne kuch bola ki (he turned and said something), 'Do like that' or something. Main itni neend mein. Maine bola (I was sleepy. I said), 'You do your own work na'. Woh itna trigger ho gaya, uss time woh bohut trigger ho jata tha. Bahut gaali galoch, chillam chilli hogayi us time, beech sadak pe aadhi raat ko (He got triggered, at that time he used to get triggered a lot. Abuses were hurled, there was screaming then, in the middle of the road late at night)."

"I was scared, I cried and looked at the producer, who wasn't even looking at me. He didn't understand what to do when the hero and heroine were fighting in the middle of the set. I sat in my car, slammed the door and left the set. That was the first time I left the set like this. I said, 'I won't work now, I can't. he abused me and you did nothing. I won't come anymore on set'," she added.
