I was shaking physically after we got done with filming that scene. I remember throwing up. I vomited after we finished rolling that entire sequence. That\u2019s how emotionally and physically demanding those situations were. When you take your entire body into the truth of that moment, you feel it.

So that when you play, you\u2019re absolutely true to the story and to everything within it. Playing Kainaaz actually made me a mother much before I became a biological mother. It was because of the kind of intensity and ferocity and love and protectiveness I felt for her while working on the show,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Penned by Bhavani Iyer, the Dia Mirza-starrer\u2019s official synopsis on IMDb reads, \u201c[Kaafir] follows Kainaaz Akhtar, a Pakistani woman falsely imprisoned as a militant.
