The video starts with Bhumi reciting a dialogue from the film while it plays in the background as well. She says, “Dusro ke dard mein dukhi hona bhul gaye hai kya? Kya ab bhi aap apni ginti insaano mein karte hai? Ya apne aapko Bhakshak maan chuke hai?” 

Sharing the video, she penned a long note taking about the film and concluded it by thanking Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan for ‘making her a part of the film.” She wrote, “Jab #bhakshak shuru ki thi tab @justpulkit ne kahan tha, dekhna bhumi ye kahaani logon ko kabhi chodh nahi payegi. Shooting this film was full of many many moments that still overwhelm me. Our ‘story’ was reality for these children. They were so young that they probably didn’t even know what was happening with them. This thought kept us going. We have to make a film free of all corruption and with all the right intentions. This one is beyond a hit or flop. It’s about how deep it affects you when you watch it.”

If our film made you feel and the next time you see injustice big or small do your bit :) We all have a Vaishali Singh in us. Thank you my incredible team #Bhakshak And a special thank you @iamsrk @gaurikhan for making this happen. I will always be full of gratitude for you for making me a part of Bhakshak.”
