In a throwback interview posted by Movie Talkies on their YouTube channel, Suhani talked about her reaction when she first learnt that she was shortlisted after the audition. Suhani said, “I gave an audition there (in Delhi). After that when I came out my mother said, ‘Kaisa hua, kaisa hua?’ Maine bola, ‘Mumma maine apna best de diya hai. Bas baki toh sab bhagwan ke upar hai.’ Then my mother was regularly asking father ki ‘Call aya?’ (My mother asked me how the audition went, and I said that I have given my best. She regularly asked if there was a call back from the team). One day the production guy called and he said your daughter has been shortlisted and you have to go to Bombay. I was really surprised and I was so happy! I thanked to God and was really happy.”

Suhani also credited the trainers with whom she worked for six months prior to the shooting of the film. She also shared how Aamir was very caring and supportive throughout the shoot. He made everyone feel included, said the actor. In Dangal, Suhani played the younger Babita Kumari Phogat. Her sister Geeta Phogat was essayed by actor Zaira Wasim.
