After the judgment of the court, this has been proved to be the truth. This story is not just a film for us; it is an emotion).”The director went on to add, “Yeh humari responsibility hai ki desh ke log jaane kis tarah se humari betiyon ko conspiracy se fasaya ja raha hai. Unko victim banaya jar aha hai. (It is our responsibility that all the people of the country know how our daughters are being trapped by doing conspiracy. They are being made victims).”
