Mithila Palkar says she learnt a lot from acclaimed actor Irrfan Khan when she worked with him on Karwaan. The film also marked the Bollywood debut of Malayalam actor, Dulquer Salmaan.

On her experience of working with a big name like Irrfan, Mithila says, "Initially, it took me time to realise that I am sharing screen space with Irrfan Khan. When I started working with him, a lot of times I would end up laughing in a scene. I have never been to an acting school and on the sets of Karwaan, Irrfan was my acting school. By observing him, I learnt to improvise in the scenes, along with focusing on the smallest of the details." 

Mithila also reveals that her current favourite in Bollywood is Alia Bhatt. She feels Alia carries out brilliant roles with ease, and that really inspires her to push herself to perform better.
