Ayesha Khan spoke about the shoot for the hit Dhurandhar song Shararat.

What did Ayesha say?

During an interaction with Pinkvilla, Ayesha said, “It was two days of shoot. It was so hectic, I was on my period during the shoot, and you know you're not looking your best because you're bloated and you're not at your best. Kaash, I was at my best. It was so much of work for two days… We were running short on time. We were so tired, our bones were aching after dancing so much. I was feeling so overwhelmed, and it was also because I was on my period, so maybe my emotions were hitting me too much. So, I just couldn't control and I just cried. It was Khushi ke aansu (tears of joy).”

I have so much trust in my craft and in the Almighty that I know one day I’ll have everything I have prayed for. Blessed to have a family that’s just there to support me no matter what! My spine. My strength. Special thanks to @sarvesh_shashi for being there through thick and thin. @shahabaz__khan__ thank you for existing. I am NOTHING without you. Words can never describe what you mean to me. May 2026 bring amazing things and hard learnt lessons in our lives. Cause what is AYESHA KHAN without a little bit of drama?” she said.
