The scene showed Yami's Ashima Roy telling Ayushmann's Vicky Arora that she is a divorced woman as they talk about their marriage plans. Ayushmann found his acting to be very raw in the scene but admitted that the same worked for his character.
He told Film Companion about the scene, "I remember we shot this opposite Mika Singh's farmhouse. There was this lake, that was Mika's lake, there was this mountain that was Mika's mountain, everything was owned by him. I got a call (from Mika), 'Ha bhai tu shoot kar raha hai yaha pe (you are shooting here)?' I asked where, and he told me that I am shooting at his property. At the next cut, Mika is coming on his speedboat, standing like that (hands on waist), through his lake with two bodyguards."

He recalled, "Shoojit Sircar was like (extending hands for a handshake) 'Hi Mickey.' I told him 'Sir his name is Mika.' He is so bad with names. He would often call me Anshuman and call Yami Yamini. Shoojit Da was so bad with names, now of course he knows our name. And Mika paaji got offended that 'Mickey'?" Ayushmaan recalled that they later visited Mika's farmhouse where there were horses and maybe 50 dogs.
