Meanwhile, in a recent interview, director Aditya Dhar’s wife Yami Gautam spoke about the film’s success. “Nothing has changed us as people. That also comes from Aditya, and the kind of person he is, very unaffected and extremely humble. I’ve seen him through different phases; there are highs and lows and vulnerable phases, but it’s not like during that phase we expressed our frustration or let it out.
