Mumbai, Sep 3 : Playback singer Dhvani Bhanushali, who is set to make her Bollywood debut with 'Kahan Shuru Kahan Khatam', has shared that shooting for the film in the town of Chanderi made her feel homesick.

The singer-actress said that she shot for 40 days in Chanderi. 'It was the first time I stayed away from my parents. I felt homesick during the shoot. But, I got a new family during the shooting', she said referring to her co-actors and the film's unit.

In 'Kahan Shuru Kahan Khatam', Dhvani shares the screen with Aashim Gulati. She also spoke about how she decided to make a switch to acting.
