Another user wrote, "It would be hilarious to see one promotional event with Varun, Alia, Sonam, Ananya, and Sharmin together."

One also wrote, "Eyeroll toh theek hai, but Aditi is actually insecure because she deliberately called Richa "didi" in a scene when it wasn't even included in the dialogue. She's 47 but tries to be younger than her juniors."
