In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Anurag revealed that he wanted to leave his daughter’s wedding after the varmala ceremony, but it was friend and filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane who stopped him. He said, “I had the same feeling when my daughter was born. I don’t know why I cried so much, but I cried. Same thing at her wedding. I think I cried non-stop for 10 days. I don’t know why and in front of random people.” He added, “At my daughter’s wedding, after the varmala and havan was done, I couldn’t handle it. I was so overwhelmed and emotional, I wanted to leave the wedding, even before the reception began. And I was going out, but he (pointing to Vikramaditya Motwane) stopped me. He took me out, we went for a long walk, and then we came back.”
