Arjun Kapoor, in an interview with Hindustan Times, opened up about Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar being received enthusiastically by the audience since its release on Amazon Prime Video. He called it proof of the existence of an ‘actual’ audience that appreciates good films and performances, ‘versus this fake audience that was being built for a year and a fake narrative that was being built about separating the industry from the audience’.
