She mentioned that it was especially meaningful for her to be part of the Fukrey series because she had been a fan before she even started acting.

 She said, "Being part of such a big franchise is itself a huge success. I remember watching Fukrey when I wasn’t even in the film industry. So being part of Fukrey 3 gives me a lot of joy."

When asked about the response to her role, Lekha said she didn’t expect the scene to get so much attention online. "

The entire aircraft scene just went viral. I had no idea it would get so much attention. When the trailer came out, I started getting a lot of calls. That scene was picked up by meme pages and viral Instagram accounts. I’m so grateful and thankful for being a part of this," she said.

Lekha also explained how she got the role.

 According to her, casting director Taran Bajaj reached out to her for the film and told her 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 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 was fun and lively, especially because she worked 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 moments during filming and remembered a specific scene.

 "There’s a moment where I’m 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, even though her role in Fukrey 3 was brief, it turned into a memorable moment in her career that continues to be talked about online.
