"My character really attracted me because it's very much unlike my previous films. People are telling me that they never knew that I can sing, dance and talk much. I was very happy playing this part because.
"The moment I heard that it's a love story and that also with an Army guy, I thought it's going to be interesting because I believe in love. I am very much like other girls who have a fascination for defence men," she told PTI.
"We worked simultaneously on both the films. We signed both the films around the same time. It was almost a year that we were shooting together. It was a very good experience of working with Pulkit. He is one of those actors, who will give your space. He is spontaneous."
But the 27-year-old actress recalls she had to train herself a lot to match steps with Pulkit.
"We all know what a fabulous dancer he is and that added a lot of work on me. And now, when people are saying that I danced well, I give the whole credit to Pulkit. It's a blessing to have a good co-actor. Your work is not going to come out in a better way if your co-actor is not co-operative."
Asked what she takes into consideration while choosing a project, Yami said, "My choice is a mix of everything. I did 'Badlapur' because I wanted to work with Sriram Raghavan and I wanted to be a part of film which is different for people to watch.
"Apart from that, I am not bothered about the length of my role. I keep pushing myself in terms of genre.
