Aahana Kumra shared her experience of playing a journalist for the first time and what it was like working with Kajol in the film 'Salaam Venky' directed by Revathi. The actress, who has been part of projects like 'Lipstick Under My Burkha', 'Avrodh 2', 'Agent Raghav', 'Khuda Haafiz' and many more, opened up about her role, saying: "I have never played a journalist in my career so far and it's interesting to be able to play the part and also be a part of such a great ensemble where you have the opportunity to work with such incredible crew of actors, director, cinematographer and producer. So it's a great collaboration. Also, the tone of the film is very different and I have never done such a feel good, slice-of-life-film."

Ahana talks about her experience working with Kajol and Revathi "My experience was phenomenal, although I didn't have too many scenes with Kajol. We just had one scene together and watching her perform her sequence was an experience in itself. It's incredible to learn from such an actor who is a stalwart in her space and has been working so long in the industry. The way she switches on and off during her performance was commendable. Her energy on the set was incredible."

Aahana recalls what it was like to shoot under Revathi's direction and praises her for her style of work "I don't think I have ever met anybody as kind as Revathi. She is one of the most incredible, intelligent, inspiring, and down-to-earth people I have ever met. During lunch breaks, she would eat with all of us. When we were shooting in Lonavala, she was staying in the ashram. If I write something in the future, I'll definitely write a role for her and I sincerely hope I get to do a full film with her where I'm playing the lead and she would be the director. It would be such a big opportunity and huge privilege." Kajol is in the lead role in 'Salaam Venky'. This is the story of a woman and the various problems she faces in her life. It is all set to release on 9th December.
