In a conversation with IANS, the actress shared, 'Honestly, during Cocktail, it was the only time when I was on a very strict diet and a consistent workout routine.

We were shooting in Italy, in Sicilyhellip and when it comes to food there, it's mostly pizza, pasta, pizzahellip all of that. And I was likehellip ah."

In a recent chat with Zoom, the Mimi actress gave a glimpse of what fans can expect from her upcoming romantic drama.

'Cocktail 2 just happened at the right time. I was craving it. I wanted to go into that really young, urban, fun space of a rom-com," Sanon shared.

She also shared her views on the sequel and said, 'Yes, it's a sequel, but it's more of a vibe sequel, I feel. The story is completely different, the characters are completely different, and their backstories are completely different."
