"It is true. I had some questions about a scene on the first day of the shoot. I questioned something in a scene on my first day of shoot, and everyone stared at me, wondering 'How can I question?' When I returned to the set the next day and was reading my script, one person came to me and said, 'You may go home,'” Yami Gautam revealed.
