Sobhita Dhulipala on why she chose this role
Sobhita Dhulipala said, “Playing Sitara has been a very meaningful journey for me, a coming-of-age in real life. Sitara is a character with interesting complexes – a successful interior designer. She is attempting to understand the reasons for her own choices, her family dynamics and the patterns we inherit from family, unknowingly.”
She further added, “What drew me to this role is that it’s the story of a girl who finds the courage to shatter her conditioning. And be honest to herself no matter what. She is a family girl at heart. And will stand for what she believes in, even if it is not easy. There is something dignified, relatable and real in Sitara’s personality that all women connect to. We shot this sweet family drama in Kerala. It was shot while we were navigating some very unique challenges during Covid lockdowns. I do hope this humble, heartfelt story moves you the way it moved the whole of our cast and crew.”
