Whatever comes to you, you have to decide from it... whether to do it or not," Nimrat, who will be seen alongside Akshay Kumar in forthcoming film “Airlift”, said here at a press conference on Monday.
Talking about the Raja Krishna Menon directorial, Nimrat said: "I really consider myself very fortunate to be a part of this story. It's a story that I didn't know about. When I read the script, I didn't know that this has happened and I was shocked about that."
In the movie, which is about the evacuation of Kuwait-based Indians in 1990, Nimrat plays the wife to actor Akshay Kumar's character.
"I play the role of Ranjit Katyal's wife Amrita Katyal. She is a very outspoken person, and not fearful of speaking her mind."

'Airlift' will release on January 22.
