Actress Sanjeeda Shaikh has talked about her small appearance in the Yash-starrer Toxic and said that the “unimaginable” character was far removed from her reality, making the experience all the more enjoyable.
Sanjeeda took to Instagram, where she shared a string of images of herself in character from the film. She went on to thank the audience for the warm response and promised to continue taking on roles that surprise and shock them.

I promise to keep taking up roles that will keep shocking everyone. #toxic.”
