"I am super thrilled and excited that this
year has ended in such a positive note for everyone. It's something we worked
really hard for and happy that it's showing the results. Who does not like box
office numbers? But for a film like this, which was an underdog in the first
part and even this time, no one really expected it to do well.
"When this
kind of a film does well, it makes me extra happy," Richa told IANS over phone

because we are women... That's all."
