Earlier in the day, Anupam Kher shared a video revealing his mother Dualri's reaction after watching the film.

She also happens to be a Kashmiri Pandit and talks about how her younger brother was threatened and forced to relocate.

In the caption, the actor wrote, "Mom saw #TheKashmirFiles with us yesterday! She was shaken and silent for the longest time. This evening I went to meet her and asked her about the film. As you will see this is her most serious video. She kept quiet for a long time and then this is what she could say. Afterwards I gave her a never ending hug. And as I was leaving she said, "अच्छा किया इस फ़िल्म में तूने काम किया। ये तेरा फ़र्ज़ था! दुनिया भर में रह रहे कश्मीरियों के लिए! ये कहानी सबको पता लगनी चाहिए।"

Further, the actor went on to say, "She is right!! That is why I requested @vivekagnihotri to give me the #ExecutiveProducer title also for the film. I needed it! Some projects in life are beyond cinema and acting!"
