However, the movie got panned by film critics and couldn’t do anything to push her career ahead. Recently, the actor talked about the many kissing scenes in the film, leading to her elder sister Kajol not watching it till this day.
While speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Tanishaa said, “It was too much kissing on-screen. My sister (Kajol) has not watched the film till today. Even I tell my friend’s kids to watch it after growing up a little bit. That conservativeness exists in our country.” However, she also believes that if the film was offered to her today, she would have done it differently.
