Kirti Kulhari talks about how 'Shaadistan' highlights social conditioning

Bollywood actor Kirti Kulhari is back with another social drama after her critically acclimated movie Pink. Her upcoming movie Shaadistan is set for a release and the movie’s trailer has made a lot of noise on social media. What has particularly caught the audience’s attention in the trailer is Kirti’s dialogue wherein she emphasises the importance of fighting for oneself. Recently, Kirti revealed that dialogue does not distinguish between tradition and modernity and rather it is simply about bringing a change.

In an interview with Firstpost, Kirti said that the society we live in works in a certain way and that all the people have been subjected to one or the other sort of conditioning. She went to explain that when people say that things work a certain way, it is also nothing but conditioning that tells people how to live their lives. Elaborating more on what her character meant by that particular dialogue in the trailer, Kirti said that her character wants others to get inspired. She further said that there are many people who do not have the ‘luxury’ to fight and her character, Sasha intends to tell that that life does get easier after somebody else has ‘fought for that freedom’.
