Karan also shared how actors do not get credit for working in extreme weather conditions and added:
“We have covered the length and breadth of Kashmir. We have shot in Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Srinagar. I have combated a viral, you had your baby. I find it really tough how both the lead actors, in this extreme climate, where there is also a fan blowing so that their hair flies and then they have to look romantic, sensuous and swing all those emotions in sub temperature, we don’t give credit, it’s crazy.”

"This was from the last day of shoot... I look tired but satisfied! Going back to work as a new mom in any profession will never be easy .. you feel various emotions all at once not to mention the major physical difference in ur energy .. but I am very grateful & feel very privileged and supported by a team and crew that was understanding. I feel for new mothers everywhere ... especially those who have to resume work immediately Postpartum cause it's never easy."
