To my director, @sriram.raghavanofficial, it is an honour to be introduced into the world of cinema by you. Thank you for your gentleness, patience, and love for storytelling. That passion is something I carry forward. (sic)".

Simar thanked her co-star Agastya Nanda, who is also making his debut with the movie, for sharing this journey with her.

Another star kid launch. Hope the film is good and they have the talent to back up the privilege. Sriram Raghavan is a brilliant director though, so that's promising.

"Mann Neevan. Matt Ucchi" – what a beautiful thought to end on. It's refreshing to see a young actor talk about simple living and high thinking. More power to her!

The film is about 2/Lt Arun Khetrapal, PVC. That's a brave war hero. I just hope they have done justice to his story and legacy. That's more important than any debut.

Her Insta note is so sweet! The camaraderie with her co-star Agastya seems genuine. It's nice when co-stars support each other, makes the promotional interviews more fun to watch!

With due respect, the article feels like a PR piece. We'll know if she's 'extremely fond' of her co-star or if it's just for the cameras once the movie releases and promotions are over. Let's judge by the work.
