Sharing a short clip of Neelima from the film, Ishaan said that he teared up on watching her onscreen. “I saw my mother on screen today in #dollykittyaurwohchamaktesitare. You are beautiful as ever mom. Such intricacy and delicateness. Such humaneness. I can’t explain what watching this single scene did to me. I cried like a baby after watching it, “ he wrote in the caption. “It’s always lovely to see wonderful people coming together for a film but this time it’s personal. My mother made an appearance for one scene and moved me to tears. Best of luck and congratulations on the release to the entire team of the film,” he added and tagged the cast and crew of the film in his post.

Neelima plays Konkona Sen Sharma’s mother in the movie who comes to visit her daughter after years. The film is directed by Alankrita Shrivastava and also stars Bhumi Pednekar in the lead role. Actors Vikrant Massey and Kubbra Sait are also part of the film.
