Taking to her Instagram handle, Taapsee shared a video on Friday and was heard saying, she wrote, "Itne pyaare-pyaare messages, itne validating reviews… aur most importantly, kitne saare logon ne personally iss issue ko liya hai. Kitne beautiful articles aur videos - maine sab dekhe, sab padhe. Shayad aapne bhi dekhe honge, padhe honge. Agar itne saare log likh rahe hain, itni shiddat aur pyaar se, itne jazbe se… toh shayad kuch toh baat hogi? Agar aapko lage ki dekhna toh banta hai - ki yeh kaunsi film hai jiske baare mein itne log itni gehraai se likh rahe hain - toh ek baar zaroor dekhiye. Shayad yeh film aapse bhi baat kare."

Thoda uncomfortable kar sakti hai… par yaad rahegi. Shayad itna confidence ab aa gaya hai humein yeh kehne mein. I hope you give it a shot. Looking forward to all the wonderful write-ups and videos for Assi."
