With profound gratitude and pride, she reflected on how the film has significantly influenced both her professional journey and personal development.

In her touching message, Chum Darang conveyed that Badhaai Do occupies a unique position in her heart. “This project will always be dear to me, not only for the narrative we presented but also for my own personal evolution throughout the process,” she stated.

In her post, she also recognized her co-stars Rajkummar Rao and Gulshan Devaiah, describing them as "phenomenal" and commending their outstanding performances. The chemistry she shared with Rajkummar Rao as the film's lead pair struck a chord with audiences, emerging as one of the film's most memorable elements. She concluded by applauding the entire team for their steadfast commitment, which rendered the filming experience truly unforgettable.

The actress emphasized that Badhaai Do serves as a celebration of love, bravery, and authenticity—principles that continue to resonate well beyond the film's initial release. With its compelling messages about embracing one's true identity, the film has established a lasting legacy in Indian cinema, particularly regarding LGBTQIA+ representation.

Reflecting on the significant influence Badhaai Do has had on storytelling, Chum Darang recognizes that this film transcends mere nostalgia; it stands as a tribute to love in all its manifestations and a reminder that genuine courage is found in living one's truth.
