'Filmi heroes toh bahut hai, she's a real-life one'

'A few years ago, on a rainy afternoon, @tahirakashyap came home for a narration of Sharmaji Ki Beti. I loved it instantly! Even days after we met, the story left me with a warm, fuzzy feeling.
'Tahira was self-assured, sweet, simple, and knew exactly what she wanted (I'm glad she wanted me). Producerji @atulkasbekar and @tanuj.garg @sameern were convinced that I fit the part. It all felt too good to be true. But like films, our lives also have these strange twists and turns. And out of nowhere, they began hitting us.
'As everyone knows, Tahira was unwell. It was shocking, scary, and heart-breaking. Obviously, the film went on hold. The warrior that she is, we were ready to roll in no time! But life had other plans. Covid happened and the world shut down.
'Through all the ups and downs, Tahira fought. For herself. For all of us. Filmi heroes toh bahut hai, she's a real-life one. I'm so glad our paths crossed and we've worked on this film together. Can't wait for all of you to watch it.'
