Once she watched the film, she reached out to me. It’s a really big deal for me because she is someone from whom I have learnt so much as an actor and off-screen personality as well.

When asked whose compliment moved her, “Be it Alia, Ranbir (Kapoor) or Ranveer (Singh), I have always looked up to them and have admired them for the longest time. They have all reached out to me. It just felt so good, I have screenshots of those messages and I am going to read them. Even Janhvi (Kapoor), Sara (Ali Khan), Kiara (Advani), Tara (Sutaria), Taapsee (Pannu), Mrunal (Thakur), they all really connected and liked Tia and spoke about specific moments. I think when you make that choice and the choice is kind of seen, it feels really good.”
