Although it sounds like a pretty simple sequence, not many were aware of the actress’ phobia of fire.

Revealing more about her fire, the actress said, "I have had a phobia of fire since childhood. And when I was told about this scene, I was a little petrified initially but then as they say, ‘The show must go on’ so I just went ahead and gave my best shot. At the end, I knew it was worth it because everyone really raved about the way the scene turned out."
