How frustrating was it?

"It was very frustrating, of course. As artistes, we don't believe in censorship. We believe in certification and I feel sometimes they cut too much," Soha told reporters at a press conference here.

"They treat the audience as children... It is very frustrating," the 37-year-old said.

She says she felt more frustrated for the film's writer-producer Harry Sachdeva as "31st October" is "the one film he has, which he is pushing".

"He chose a diplomatic route because this film is important for him. He didn't want to be aggressive about it... He slowly convinced the censor board," she added.

Soha said the censors first asked for 40 cuts in the movie, and then the cuts were scaled to none.

Soha was recently into the news after she had to face backlash for visiting Ganpati pandals for darshan.
