The movie, which premiered on February 13, marks Shanaya's second cinematic venture and has been met with a positive response from viewers.
Reflecting on a Transformative Journey
On Monday, Shanaya took to her Instagram account to post a lengthy note, detailing how the film came into her life at a pivotal moment. She wrote, "Tu Yaa Main came into my life at a time when I really didn’t have the most confidence in myself... and it gave me that, and everything more." She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to portray the character Avani, describing her as a "complete BADASS" who taught her valuable lessons about strength and resilience.
In her post, Shanaya extended heartfelt thanks to the film's directors, Bejoy Nambiar and Aanand L. Rai, for their guidance and belief in her abilities. She praised Nambiar for bringing Avani to life and pushing her to be the best version of herself, while acknowledging Rai for backing unconventional stories and giving her, a relatively new actor, a chance to take on a complex and layered role.
Behind-the-Scenes Moments and Co-Star Appreciation
Alongside her message, Shanaya posted behind-the-scenes photos with her co-star Adarsh Gourav, showcasing their camaraderie during the filming process. She humorously referenced a rap line in her caption, adding a light-hearted touch to her appreciation for Gourav as a supportive partner throughout the "roller coaster of a ride."
She also thanked casting director Mukesh Chhabra for assisting with her audition and acting coach Atul Mongia for helping her build the character of Avani step by step. Shanaya concluded by expressing gratitude to the entire cast and crew, celebrating the "crazy nights that turned into beautiful mornings" and looking forward to future projects.
