Talking about her daughter's debut, Seema said, "I'm really excited to share the screen with my daughter in her debut film. I enjoyed shooting this film, as in the film, I'm playing Manukriti's mother-in-law. So I got to observe our bond from a different viewpoint and that was something refreshing."
She also expressed rejoice regarding the cinema halls being re-opened and added, "The film will be out on International Men's Day, and I would request everyone to watch the film, as we waited a long time for this day, and believe me, you won't be disappointed with this sweet attempt."

The film's producer Shivam Aggarwal also divulged the intention behind launching the film's poster on Karva Chauth.
He said, "Karva Chauth is celebrated by women for their partner's well-being, but there are preset notions attached to male, that needs to be addressed. A man doesn't need to be muscular, emotionally strong, overpowering others, and being up for fighting. Thus we decided to come up with this film, and we launched our poster on this auspicious day."
