And I really couldn’t have asked for a better one. The team, the story, the characters, the place, the music.. all of it so, soooo special and close to our hearts. We were in Benaras for the premiere.

Thank you for the love, the poetry and the baarish. Thank you for making us your Devi, Deepak aur Shaalu,” Shweta wrote.
