The actress said, “My last film was Mission Mangal which did very well and fingers crossed that people will come to theatres and watch Neeyat and love it. And maybe watch it again (laughs). But yes, there is a lot of excitement. And promotions karne ka yehi faydo hota hai ki aapko pressure mehsoos nahi hota. Hum itna thak jaate hai that there is no time to process what you’re feeling.
