No one expected 96 to create the kind of hysteria it did! said Trisha in the interview. “Honestly speaking even we didn’t expect it to (laughs) It’s too overwhelming, I really didn’t expect this to happen ever again in my career. Of course, I value it and cherish it but at the same time, it’s not something I take seriously because it happened on it’s own. It’s nice to see that all the hard work has paid off” she said in the interview.
