Talking about her bond with Divya, Ayesha said, "We were shooting for Rang, and this whole incident happened. When I was dubbing for that film—she was playing my sister in it—we were very close. Even on other sets, she used to come and be with me. She would get the same shoes she got for me, and I was shooting for one of the songs when she said, ‘Wait, wait, you’re not wearing a bindi.’ She went into her room and got me a bindi.”
