Choudhury plays a teacher, who loves children but doesn’t wish to have one of her own. Considering not wanting children is largely viewed as a deal-breaker in arranged marriages, the film tries to subvert the idea. Reflecting on his own choices, Dhanjani says, “By 2050, the population is going to hit more than nine billion. We are overpopulated. There are so many children out there, who need a home. I have always been open to the idea of adoption. When I have a partner, I would love to discuss this.” However, he believes his parents are “old school”. “When I opened up about this to my parents, they said it was great, but asked me still have a child of my own. The fact that they were open to [adoption]is a victory.”

A lot of women express that after getting married they may choose to quit or work, which is their right, but this same option should be awarded to men too,” says Dhanjani, also accepting that people are not ready to accept the role reversal just yet. “Men are conditioned to be the breadwinners, and providers, but it is not necessary. We are in a time when being a man or a woman doesn’t change anything.”
