Asked why he sported a jacket on a hot summer day, Shahid said, “I’m comfortable.” As for his bearded look, he explained, “It’s the look for my dad’s upcoming film and yes, I am trying to look different. I wanted to try something new. I think it suits me.” On why his

co-star, Ayesha Takia, was not part of the promotional activities, Shahid said, “We did not want to promote the film as a love story, but as an educational film, perhaps that’s why.”
