“The first day I met her, I was like, “How did you find me?’ She was like, ‘I saw you on my Explore page.’ … She was like, ‘Just thought you were so cool, and I was like, I don’t know if I should message her or not. I don’t know if she’s going to be down.’ I’m just sitting there, like, ‘Are you crazy? How could you be nervous to message me?’” stated Sanam.

When asked about her experience of working with the pop queen, Sanam said, “So while she might try to murder her accountant and his wife in her music videos, Rihanna’s a total sweetheart in real life.

“She’s so sweet. She was showering us with compliments. She is so real and down-to-earth, which is the corniest thing to say about a famous person, but she really is.”
