Sharing her thoughts on being associated with the franchise, Lekha said the opportunity was especially meaningful as she had followed the Fukrey series long before entering the industry. She said, “Firstly, being a part of such a big franchise is itself a huge success. I remember watching Fukrey when I was not even in the film industry. So being a part of Fukrey 3 gives me immense pleasure.”

Speaking about the reaction to her role, Lekha admitted she had not expected the scene to receive such attention online. “The entire aircraft scene just blew up. I had absolutely zero expectations. When the trailer was released, I started getting so many calls. That sequence was picked up by meme pages and viral Instagram accounts. I am just very grateful and thankful that I got to be a part of this,” she added.

The actress also revealed how she landed the part. According to Lekha, casting director Taran Bajaj approached her for the film and informed her that she would be working under director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba. “I got a call from Taran Bajaj, who was casting for the film. He told me about the role and mentioned that Mrighdeep Singh Lamba was directing it. He also said that my scenes would be with the Fukras and Pankaj Tripathi, sir. The moment I heard that, I was like, ‘Yes, I am doing this.’”

Lekha said the shoot atmosphere was energetic and enjoyable, particularly because she shared screen space with Varun Sharma, Pulkit Samrat and Manjot Singh. “The best part was that I was sharing screen space with all three boys. There was amazing energy on set, and I had a blast shooting with them,” she said.

She also praised Pankaj Tripathi for his spontaneous additions during filming and recalled one specific moment from the scene. “There is a moment where I am serving him a drink, and he puts his finger into it and throws a few drops out. That was his improvisation, and it made the scene even more real and fun. He was amazing. He’s one of the best co-actors you can ever work with,” she shared.

For Lekha Prajapati, the Fukrey 3 appearance may have been brief, but it became a memorable career moment that continues to resonate with viewers online.
