Speaking at a media event, she said, "There’s so much toxicity and hate... I keep hearing ‘boycott this one, cancel that one.’ Mat karo yaar (don't do this), have room and let people be."Actor Ridhi Dogra, who also features in the film, defended her decision to be part of the project, stating, “When I signed and shot for the film, relations between the countries were stable. I followed all the laws. Today, I stand by my country and our armed forces, but don’t bully me for something that was legal then.”About Abir GulaalDirected by Aarti S Bagadi, the film synopsis reads, "Two wounded souls, brought together by chance, find solace in each other's company and gradually develop a profound connection that blossoms into love." Apart from Fawad and Vaani, the film also stars Lisa Haydon, Farida Jalaal, Soni Razdan, Parmeet Sethi and Rahul Vohra in key roles.
