I am ecstatic that I am going there with a film that is so close to my heart. What makes it more special is that we've been selected for a Gala Premier at the prestigious Roy Thompson Hall. As an official selection and with the viewing we will have, I am extremely excited for the experience to come. I've never experienced watching a film of mine with such a large and diverse audience. To be walking that red carpet with my co-actors, director Karan Boolani and our producers Anil Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor is going to be memorable.''
Talking about the film, the 34-year-old actress said that the film celebrates the unbounded spirit of young girls who are looking for love and how they yearn for the freedom to choose what they want from life. ''It is a very progressive film with its heart in the right place. This is our chance to show the world how cinema in India is celebrating and portraying women of today,'' she added.
