What Sai Pallavi said
Producer Aamir Khan was also present at the event. He stood beside Junaid and Sai, along with the other cast members. Sai went ahead and gave a speech to thank everyone. She said, “I don’t know what work I have done, but I felt happy that jo bhi maine kiya, it brings me to a room filled with people who are so talented, and I end up being so humbled. Aamir sir is crazy enough to be that emotional in public, but though I love my seats, I sometimes wish that the lights were dimmed so that I can, you know, be more emotional.”
‘I’m actually quite nervous’
She concluded by thanking Aamir and said, “Thank you, Aamir sir, for putting me in a space like this, picking me to be part of this movie where I’m able to enjoy this, feel so much of love. And every time you all spoke about love, I could see your face glow. This is going to be my first Hindi film. I’m actually quite nervous. But it’s an absolutely beautiful journey. Thank you so much to the whole team. Junaid was an absolutely beautiful co-star. An obedient child, actually. He’s so nice. I had a great time. Today I didn’t prepare what I wanted to say, but please forgive me. There’s a lot of love inside for you.”
