As per `Variety`, Kapoor, who is a non-smoker, also learnt to roll a cigarette. The actor also trained with a language coach to learn the Bengali language that is native to Kolkata and to speak a few words of it and English with an Anglo-Indian accent.
The actress further mentioned that “many people around the world will identify with her”.
On the reason for this, the actress told `Variety` that “she`s (her character) beat up, she`s been through so much, people have knocked her out. And that`s what happens in normal life”.
“It`s not only depression, or alcoholism – nobody discusses this, but there`s a time where people just become irrelevant. She bounces back, because she has it in her. Rita Brown is very inspirational to women out there and that`s something that really touched me because I`ve also been through a journey in life.”
