Balaji Studio made the process even more meaningful because they truly encourage rooted, emotional storytelling. It feels raw, rooted, and very different from what I’ve done earlier, and I’m genuinely excited. I loved that our show doesn’t rush feelings; it lets them simmer, just like food. That’s what makes it very special and very real for me.”

Every day on this show has taught me something new, and it feels amazing to create something that celebrates love, family, emotions, and culture in such a refreshing way.I genuinely feel this is a new chapter for me, and I’m excited for everything ahead. Upwards and onwards always.”
