In a recent interview, Janki spoke about her intense prep for Vash and revealed that during workshops director Krishnadev Yagnik asked her actually to pee in a pivotal scene. She was happy by the thought of the filmmaker that it could make a great impact.

“I did the Gujarati version, and I had the same scene to perform there. While we were doing workshops, the director, he’s a very good person. He asked me, can you just do it for real? The pee scene. It will make a big impact. And I was so happy about it. Like, whoa! Being an actor, I’m getting a chance to do it on screen. Something that no one has ever done," Janki told Filmfare.
