    The actress shared that she kept listening to the song on repeat, which made her cry continuously. “Arul Mei is a beautiful song from the film. I remember putting the song on loop and crying non-stop. It reminded me of my childhood and my mother,” she said.

    She added, “I have been yearning for that pure and genuine love for a long time, which I sadly haven’t experienced since my childhood. Hence, this song helped me relive those emotions. So yes, it’s a very special song to me, and I’m happy to be part of this beautiful film.”
