Indira played the role of Mamta, the elder sister of the female protagonist Nirjara in Tere Naam. In the interview, Indira revealed Salman said, “Thoda sa bhi laga na, Indira, toh dekhna mein kya karta hoon. Main hungama macha doonga (If you even hit me slightly, just watch what I’ll do. I’ll cause a huge uproar).”

She added, "Main itni daar gayi thi, mere haath aise kaanp rahe the jab mujhe thappar marna tha (I was so scared to shoot that scene with him. My hands were shaking when I had to slap him)! But he’s such a lovely person. Itna pyaar diya unhone mujhe! Bahoot comfortably maine kaam kiya unke saath. Mujhe kabhi aisa laga hi nahi ki ye Salman Khan hain. Unka aura hi bilkul alag hain (I felt very comfortable working with him, and it didn’t feel like I was working with Salman Khan. He has a different aura).”

Tere Naam was directed by the late Satish Kaushik. The film also starred Bhumika Chawla in the lead. It revolves around an obsessive lover Radhe who is a good-for-nothing college dropout with street-style behaviour. He falls for a girl, played by Bhumika whom he stalks and kidnaps.

Salman Khan will next be seen in Sikandar. It will release next year in Eid.
