The actress added, "The acting was not surface-level; it had depth and layers. I didn’t watch it as Ranveer Singh; I only saw it as Hamza… it was more of a character than a hero. I just feel incredibly proud of Ranveer because he is so hardworking. I pray and wish that whatever he does should be a blockbuster! He can do everything."
