Character depth
'What I found beautiful about her journey...'
Calling the script "gold," Sharma noted, "Babita has so many roles in her life, she is a wife and a daughter-in-law, and she has always put those roles ahead of her own professional ambitions and goals, choosing to think about herself later."
"What I found beautiful about her journey was watching her take that first step toward listening to herself and making decisions based on what she believes is right, irrespective of what others think."
