Director Nikkhil Advani's reflections

Advani shared a post in which he reminisced about the messages he has received from all over the world over the last eleven years. Some have been quick to praise Kal Ho Naa Ho, while others have focused on D-Day. 

He thanked fans for their efforts to preserve these priceless anecdotes, which mean the world to him. With their words and affection, they have inspired him and given him the strength to keep working hard to communicate this challenging narrative.
