Shilpa acknowledged that the last two years have been tough for a lot of people, including her. She told ETimes, "I think we are here to celebrate a new beginning not just for me but our director Sabbir (Khan) and actors Abhimanyu and Shirley who have worked very hard on this movie. I don't think this is about me or my life."

Hinting towards 'tough times', she went on to add, "We've all in our lives have been through a difficult phase. The last 2 years have not just been difficult for me but a lot of people. The film industry in general, too. Because films have been ready, they've been in the can but not been able to see the light of the day. People couldn't come into theatres. But, this is a big moment for us."

Talking about tough times, she previously told Hindustan Times on Mother's Day, “I have always believed that in life, you have to find a purpose. Even in the chaos, my purpose was my children and will always be them. Stepping out in difficult times, with a brave front, to go back to work was only to show my kids, (especially my son) because he is at an age where he understands things.”
