Speaking candidly, Dhar revealed, ‘The character of Naina hooked me instantly. She seems perfect and content from the outside, yet she’s deeply alone and emotionally shattered inside. The way the film delves into this contrast was a dream for any performer—demanding yet incredibly rewarding.’

What sets this romance apart, according to Dhar, is its raw honesty. ‘After ages, we have a love story centered on human frailties. It’s about two people acknowledging their shortcomings, choosing each other anyway, and growing together. Hero-heroine dynamics like this, built on realistic flaws, are seldom explored.’

Reflecting on the release, Dhar expressed pure joy: ‘Everything aligned perfectly—the final cut matched my imagination, and Naina came alive as intended. That pivotal clash with Mrunal in the latter half? I sensed it would steal the show, and feedback confirms it. Many shared how they saw their own lives in that moment.’

Under Ravi Udyawar’s direction and backed by producers including Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Prerna Singh, Umesh Kumar Bansal, and Bharat Kumar, the film shines visually. ‘Bhansali’s production banner brings that signature grandeur,’ Dhar enthused. ‘Ravi’s expertise in visual narrative, combined with breathtaking shots of Mumbai and Uttarakhand, made every frame immersive.’

Dhar wrapped up by underscoring the story’s depth: ‘It tackles heavy topics like comparisons between siblings, craving external approval, building self-esteem, bonds of sisterhood, core family principles, and the toxic undercurrents that sometimes plague homes. In today’s world of complex ties and inner battles, this film feels authentic and essential.’
