  1. I liked how Urooj represented herself, without any camouflage, which no one does in todays date. Some may judge her for living in self competition but rarely would people know the real beauty of that space♥️♥️♥️♥️

  2. Urooj's ponytail was so important in that bit. I wanna know whether it was delibarate. it helped in character building and also in making the laugh out loud punchlines more fun. I would have criticised the set as too much written and structured if her ponytail didn't have a life of its own

  3. Muslim thing i really connected with that bcoz it happend with me as well not in cab but in Train (A family who were travelling to same destination misheard my name as Amit) and my experiance of it was so frustrating initially but I took it as an oportunity to understand their prejudice and tried my best to change that…
