Quotes from others about the person

Mahesh Bhatt: "Digangana came as a sparkling brook into Jalebi. She just dazzled me with her scenes being fresh & with no prior reference to her acting. She's a talent one needs to look out for."

Govinda: "It is a cliché, but age is just a number. If you are a good performer, audiences will see beyond how you look, what your age is or where you have come from. I have not seen her past work, but Digangana’s work act speaks volumes of her experience. She is a mature actor, and I guess her performance will speak for her."
