Talking about her role in Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar, Shraddha said in a PTI interview, "It's such a different character from what I've played in Aashiqui 2 and other films after that. She is a girl who is more in charge, she is on the front foot and is confident. For me, it was refreshing to play a character who says what she feels. She is a girl-next-door with some 'tadka (spice)'. It was a first for me."

"My character was something I was excited to play because she is not something who I'm. It was a challenge for me as an actor," she added.
