 Lin: I visited war memorials in Manipur including INA Memorial Complex in Moirang. I learnt about Manipuri women’s participation in World War II. I also met a British Army Male Nurse and sought guidance from him. I tried really hard to grasp the essence of this character and do justice to the role (sense seriousness in her tone) . I also talked to my sister about being a mother.

 Lin: Do not have one. The role was supposed to be mysterious. However, there was this scene where I smiled and was joking. I guess that’s only dialogue that I delivered casually.

 Lin has also worked in some major films, having done a cameo in Bollywood flicks like “Om Shanti Om” (watch the music video of ‘Om Shanti Om’.) and “Hattrick”,
 She has shot a small part for a Vishal Bharadwaj film, Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola. “I shared the frame with one of the best actors in our country, Pankaj Kapoor.” She describes the shoot to be her most interesting one so far- “The sequence was where we had to drink beer. Since, I don’t drink beer and they don’t allow alcohol on set, they made some fizzy drink with soda bicarb to make it look like beer. After the shoot, I threw up the entire thing. It was interesting for me because I was playing the role of a Japanese wife wearing a Kimono in a Japanese head gear, make up, etc; and acting with Pankaj Kapoor was really cool,” says an excited Lin.
