Recently, Anu Aggarwal sat down for an interview with Bollywood Bubble and recalled her experience working on Aashiqui. She mentioned that when she gave shots for the film, people were left amazed by her performance. The actress said that she lived alone in Mumbai and used to provide one-take shots that were praised by Mahesh Bhatt, which made other people jealous. She was quoted as saying:
"No one had any idea. I was alone in Mumbai, without my parents, and I was a model. It was a one-take shot. All my shots in Aashiqui were one-take shots. In fact, Mahesh Bhatt used to say that I was a 'one-take artist'. I hadn't heard that term before, and I think many people didn't like it. You know how it is, other people can be jealous."
