When the film was over, I realized that it was a good one. It is a short film because this story will shake you in half an hour. If it goes on for two hours like normal films, then it will be very difficult for the audience to accept it. We just keep talking about gender equality, we Let's just talk when women and man will be given equal status, but not much change is visible. Through this film, we have tried to tell that how important is the right upbringing. I am proud that I am like this. I am associated with the project."

When there was no shooting, we used to watch the film once a week. Also, many people were hurt due to the closure of theaters The theater owner, the staff there, all of them have been badly affected. I hope everything is back to normal as soon as possible."
