"I thanked my stars that I had this opportunity to change this somehow. The only thing that God has given me and blessed my life with are people who love me with all their hearts. I know this, and I’ve known this for three decades now. I thought that if I can be a medium through which the love that people have for me can be passed on to a community that has longed and ached for it, they deserve to have it," she continued.

Sushmita shared the first look of ‘Taali’ in October of last year. While sharing the poster she captioned it, "Taali, - Bajaungi nahi, bajwaungi (won't clap, will make others clap) Nothing makes me prouder and more grateful than to have the privilege of portraying this beautiful person and of bringing her story to the world!!"
