But in the darkest moments, I discovered an extraordinary kind of love, the kind that shows up, holds space, and never lets you feel alone. I found it in my amazing friends and my family, whose unwavering support brought genuine smiles to my face, even on the hardest days.“

You know who you are – and I am endlessly grateful. @azmishabana18 @diamirzaofficial @sandymridul @konkona @divyadutta25 @urmilamatondkarofficial @therichachadha @sanjaysuri @iamonir @shahanagoswami @balanvidya @tanviazmiofficial @alifazal9 @deeptigupta #anuradhashetty @sunita_rajwar @leenaclicks @thebrandnukitchen.”
