She was heard saying: “Okay, here's a puzzle for you. What does Apkadevky Jekyllmon Opsqure 2 Vixs mean?”

The actress then asks her hair stylist to repeat after her.

“Shalaka, let's see if you know. Repeat after me. Apkadevky. Apkadevky. Jekyllmon Opsqure. Jekyllmon Opsqure. 2 Vixs. 2 Vixs. Go figure. Let's see who gets this,” said Vidya.
