00:00We had to literally like stitch after I wore the dress.

00:03My feet are almost numb.

00:05We were getting a bomb blast.

00:08It was a nightmare to get scared.

00:10It's over now.

00:12Hi, this is Alisha and you're watching me on Pooja.

00:22I was having some issues.

00:24Also, when I was supposed to wear the dress,

00:29it didn't arrive on time.

00:31They were like, we'll give it to you after 2 hours.

00:33I was like, how can you give it to me after 2 hours?

00:35It was so chaos and I was panicking.

00:38My outfit was finally ready 4 hours before.

00:42Before coming here, I was not in India.

00:44I was abroad.

00:46So I couldn't prepare anything.

00:48I literally had 4-5 days to prepare everything for my camp.

00:53When I tried the dress, we had to literally stitch after I wore the dress.

00:59It was a struggle all together.

01:01You can literally see the kind of relief I'm having right now

01:03while narrating the entire episode.

01:05It's crazy.

01:09The biggest struggle for me personally is only heels.

01:13Because, you know, heels come on.

01:17Heels are never comfortable.

01:19You just have to wear it.

01:21Because it looks graceful, it looks nice.

01:23The kind of gowns and dresses you wear,

01:26heels are necessary.

01:28So, my feet are almost numb.

01:32I'm not kidding.

01:34But, you have to do what you have to do.

01:36Right?

01:40I had a tea.

01:42Empty stomach.

01:44That just gave me a lot of acidity.

01:46And then, I...

01:48I actually didn't eat.

01:50I didn't eat anything.

01:52I think I had a Nutribar.

01:55In the evening.

01:57In the afternoon, actually.

01:59Like around 2.

02:01After that, I didn't eat anything.

02:03In fact, even in the morning,

02:05we left for the tea without eating anything.

02:07I think I just had

02:092-3 glasses of water and a banana.

02:11So, that's about it.

02:13So, I honestly didn't eat anything.

02:15But, I didn't actually realize that

02:17I didn't eat anything.

02:19Because, in any which ways in my head,

02:21I was so stressed and panicked.

02:24There were so many good things

02:26that were going to happen later.

02:28Before that, you know.

02:30What do you say?

02:34What do you say?

02:36It was a scary dream.

02:38Which is over now.

02:40Never have I ever imagined

02:42in my life that I will come here.

02:44And I will give an interview here.

02:48I'll walk the red carpet at Cannes.

02:50It just feels like a dream.

02:52And I still can't believe it.

02:54I feel like when I go to India,

02:56and when I look at the pictures,

02:58and when I think about it,

03:00I'll probably, you know,

03:02believe that, okay, this has happened.

03:04This is, I think, a big deal.
