"I struggled a lot for that mask. Actually, that mask was bought by my younger son Ekam for Halloween in Canada. I had sent a Snapchat to Baljit bhaji. When we were ready to start the shooting, I had lost the mask by then. So, I went to every Halloween shop in Canada and America to find it." — Gippy Grewal
