In an interview with Bollywood Life, Snehil revealed that there was a scene where Taha did not listen to her and annoyed her. "In one particular scene I wanted him to have tears in his eyes and he’d say, ‘Aadmi thodi rote hai (men don’t cry)’,” Snehil said.

She also stated that they had to take a lot of retakes since she felt that ‘This boy has to cry, only then the audience will cry, please…’ Taha considers him as her sister and so he agreed to do the scene for her.
