While talking to Paridhi, she said, “Shooting for the depression sequence with Ashnoor was our utmost concern and we dealt with her in the best possible way. I am acquainted with few couples who got separated due to different reasons and the major affect came on to their children. While taking such a big decision of parting ways, parents tend to ignore their kids which leads them to a state of depression. Losing faith and giving up hope is easy, but we should rather fight it and live it with joy. Things happen, parting ways, failure, sadness, but in the end that’s life, Live it till it lasts.”
