From a remote Assam visit to a Netflix set: Zoya Afroz opens up about her breakthrough moment

Zoya revealed that she was visiting her mother’s hometown in Assam after a gap of 12 years when she received an unexpected call to audition. The location, she noted, was nearly 3,000 kilometres away from Mumbai and around four hours from the nearest airport. Despite having planned a long stay, she had to cut her trip short just two days in.
