Gauahar Khan has always smashed it when it comes to fashion. The former Bigg Boss winner shares how she does it right, every time.
'In my earlier films, I played meek, very innocent, kind of roles but Suhana (her character's name in the film) is not like that. She is not an abla naari (damsel in distress) and that was very exciting for me.'

'If you respect people, if you accommodate people, these are good attributes to have.' 'Like the whole world is a mixed bag of people, our industry is the same.'

Even though the story has nothing much to say beyond its central conflict, the film is consistently poignant and, in one scene near the end, it leaves you dewy-eyed, observes Mayur Sanap.
'Thankfully, as Indians, we have a long history of trans people in our culture, in our religions, in our mythology.' 'It's not a fad which has suddenly come into existence, the way that a lot of Americans treat it.'

'The makers don't shoot in chunks, it is all in one go with all the characters visible in the frame. This set-up is different from the general shooting style.' 'To execute this, everyone needs to be well prepared.'
Remember the time women couldn't stop swooning over the actor and his chocolate boy looks?
