Quotes
Tamannaah Bhatia
Actor discussing her emotional response while filming the Chhathi Maiya song
“This film is very special for all of us. When I grew up in Mumbai, I always saw a huge crowd at Juhu beach. So even I did not know much about this festival. But when I shot this sequence, I realised that it is a very difficult fast. People stay without water for 36 hours and pray to Chhati Maiya. In today's generation, we hear a lot about gratitude and manifestation. But I think this is a very beautiful part of Bihari culture.”

“Everyone pays their respects to the rising sun. Here, they give the same respect to the setting sun. And when I was giving that shot, I can't tell you, I was welling up. As artists, we feel that we are doing something. But I am sure that there is something beyond us that makes us feel things, makes us move things. And I think this has always been the intention of films...to make you feel something”
