Sharing her experience of returning to dubbing, Chinmayi wrote, “When I faced the mic in the studio. I teared up. I wasn’t sure if my voice will be retained. That I was not allowed to work. I am not sure what the future holds. But I am happy.” Trisha too went onto thank Chinmayi on dubbing for Leo. Responding to the latter’s tweet, the actress added, “And I am so grateful to you. Thank you Chin.”
