Speaking about the film, she said, "especially with Shaakuntalam, playing Shakuntala, it might be Abhijnana Shakuntalam's play and the character might be as old as the 5th century but there's something striking about the fact that it's amazing that I still connect being a contemporary modern day woman. I connect to her and the character is very very me. She is strong, she is strong about her beliefs and she goes out for love she stays firm beliefs and where she wants to be in society. So I think it's very relatable and especially emotions like love, betrayal, and redemption and they don't go out of style. They transcend and part of human emotions over the centuries and nothing changes."
