She loves Margaret and has been texting me some pictures of her in the wig and the costume,” Kirby told Press Trust of India in an interview. “I’m really excited for her. She is having the best time. I can’t think of a better person to play Margaret,” she added. Kirby says she is still surprised by the popularity of the show as people have often told her they binge-watched it.
