The actress further mentioned, "Audiences have become very smart these days. They have understood which things bewakoof banane ke liye ki hain and which things are sensibly placed as per the need of the script. In terms of reviews, one gets to know which things are being accepted by the audience and which aren't. A few years back, when the OTT wave came, such things were more apparent then. But now I feel things are happening sensibly."
