- She added, "I have not watched the film because I have been promoting lately, but it's on my list, and I want to watch it. There are a lot of questions, as in people are saying that you know, 'Oh, you got scared...' I am like, no, we are only supporting a film which is doing well, and I am so happy that films in Bollywood are doing great, especially with newcomers. This opening is humongous! I am so happy and proud of them [Ahaan and Aneet]... Welcome to the cinemas!"
