In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan for his podcast, Anil Sharma talked about PeeCee’s clear vision for her goals. He compared her with Arjun in Mahabharat, revealing that the actress remains focused on her aspirations. He said, “Na vo left jaati hai na right. Arjun ki tarha nazar sirf machli ki aankh par hai aur kahin nahi hai. (She neither goes left nor right.

The filmmaker also shared that the actress and her family faced challenging moments when PeeCee wasn’t the favourite pick for films.
