Honestly, I'm a bit tired of all the nepotism debates. Let's just appreciate good cinema when it comes our way. Janhvi has really grown as an actor.

"Not here just to play to the gallery" - what a beautiful way to put it! More power to actors who choose substance over style. Indian cinema needs this shift. 🙌

While I appreciate the support, I hope the film lives up to the hype. Sometimes too much praise before release sets unrealistic expectations. Fingers crossed though!
