What can we expect from Kritika’s role?
When asked about what people can expect from her role, Kritika said, “Now that the trailer is out, I’m thrilled for viewers to finally meet Bani. This entire rollercoaster unfolds through her eyes. She’s that quintessential elder daughter in a middle-income family—quietly dependable, endlessly responsible, and always putting herself last, even when all she wants is a single day to focus on her own future. Instead, she’s swallowed by a whirlwind of family chaos. Playing her allowed me to tap into strength, vulnerability, wit, and frustration all at once. I can’t wait for audiences to experience the storm she’s trying so hard to outrun.”
