In France, the film is in its sixth week and is doing well, but I don't know what will happen in India.

Before I did this movie, I knew something like this existed but I didn't really know till I went through the entire act myself. Today, I know how serious it is. I wish Matrubhoomi works. As a film, of course, but also to spread awareness.

Punkej Kharbanda, the producer, got in touch with me as he is a family friend, and he wanted me to meet Manish Jha, the director. For me, it was a great opportunity to work with an award winner.

I was very excited to know that I was doing a woman-oriented subject. When I read the script, I almost chickened out! I didn't think I could do it!

Manish and Punkej convinced me.
