Speaking at a promotional event in Jaipur on Monday, the actress revealed that her fitness tracker showed that she was “very stressed” after laughing continuously for hours on the set.
Alia was seen with him in the debut episode of the new season Alpha Co-star Sharvari will be promoting her upcoming espionage thriller. His comments came as the episode drew mixed reactions online, with viewers divided over whether the show retained the anarchic charm of its first season.
Recalling the shoot, the 33-year-old said, “We love this special, we love how much laughter he brings to everyone. And it was so much fun. Actually, what you saw was an hour. We were there for four to five hours. My heart rate tracker said I was very stressed because I think it’s not normal to laugh that much.”
