When asked why he chooses to travel by auto despite having access to several luxury cars, Junaid says, “In a city like Mumbai, an auto is the best way to travel. If I take a car, I’ll get stuck in traffic and have to find parking. It’s just a practical choice. Itna bhi log mujhe nahi jaante (People don’t know me that much). Only once, an auto driver recognized me.” Khushi, on the other hand, revealed that her parents never allowed her to sit in an auto.

Junaid shared a fun anecdote about one of his auto rides and said, “Once, I was travelling from Andheri to Bandra for my play’s rehearsal. At the same time, my father was returning from Yash Raj Studios. At one of the red signals, his car stopped right beside my auto. I was busy on my phone when he rolled down his window to greet me, and I greeted him back. As soon as the signal turned green, we moved forward. The auto driver was shocked and asked me, ‘Do you know him?’ I replied, ‘Yes, actually, we live in the same area. His mother and my grandmother belong to Banaras.’”

Talking about Loveyapa, the film also features an ensemble cast including Grusha Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Tanvika Parlikar, Kiku Sharda and Kunj Anand. It is an official Hindi remake of the Tamil film Love Today. It is set to release on 7^th February and will witness a clash with Himesh Reshammiya’s Badass Ravikumar.
