Quotes

Rasika Dugal

Actor who portrays Beena Tripathi in the Mirzapur universe.

“It's really special that the song has been around for generations, and people have had such a deep relationship with it. And now, to see it find a completely new context through Beena. And to see people reacting to it, making content, sharing their own takes on the dialogue while simultaneously rediscovering the music is wonderful. It reinforces how timeless the song really is,”

“For Beena, the song is not just playing in the background. It almost becomes a part of her emotional world in that moment. There is so much history in that moment, and there is so much that she cannot say. The song says things that she herself doesn’t. That’s what makes the sequence so powerful for me,”
