Ekta Kapoor Instagram – Went to a warm and fuzzy friends and family preview of #ThankYouForComing courtesy @cookieboolani tonight just shy of its India release this weekend on October 6th – and I just had to come home and tell you this: It is beautiful to see a movie that is made with so much collective heart @karanboolani @rheakapoor take a bow 💞 It is refreshing to see that we are FINALLY ready to normalize “girl talk” – the way that girls actually talk. It is deeply satisfying to see relatable characters played by relatable human beings. Shout out to my creator fam! 🙌🏻 It is absolutely ace that we can laugh at ourselves and each other in equal measure in the hopes of developing perhaps a little more empathy in the process. Special props to @shibani_bedi for ringing true in every scene with an understated ache that makes me want her backstory to get its own spinoff. @sushantdivgikr you have my whole heart for slaying and playing your twin souls so honestly and epically. (Rahul & Anjali reference was high key genius.) @dollysingh you’re the goofy bestie each of us deserves and your dramatic wide eye is the cutest! @shehnaazgill it is so brilliant that every dialogue you say rings so true to your 100% pure desi kudi persona that the world is collectively crushing on. @natasharastogi you represent a new age of adulting that deserves to be less apologetic for the hand it was delt and you do it so damn well. Personally, for me @kushakapila’s brilliant “mean girl” energy deserved more screentime, but she nailed every scene. Especially in my fave @shopmonokrom print! And @bhumipednekar, you have absolutely crushed it. I have always admired your choices and they have called you bold and brave but babe, you’re a boss b*tch and I am now officially a superfan. You are giving Bridget Jones’s Diary while channeling @priyankachopra glam and I am here for this! Thank You For Coming is a change in the desi girl narrative that I really hope “the nation” gets behind. I am keeping everything crossed for this one. Congratulations team #ThankYouForComing I am so glad I came.
