Learnt a lesson as well that is love sometimes means letting go.” In her reply, Preity revealed, “Yes, she cries when she watches it, and cried amid filming it too! Her first love died in a car crash, so this film always hit different. Fun Fact – Most scenes, all actors cried naturally…. And Aman’s death scene had everyone crying in front of the camera and behind it too!”
