Kartik said: "Satyaprem is one of my most loved characters till date and is very close to my heart. The journey of bringing Sattu to life on screen has been an incredible and enriching experience. It was a one-of-a-kind role - who is simple, honest, and madly in love."

"I thoroughly enjoyed playing this emotionally charged character and I am eternally thankful to the incredible team behind the film."

Kiara added: "Satyaprem Ki Katha holds a very special place in my heart. Embracing and portraying Katha's complexities and vulnerabilities, was quite the challenge yet a rewarding experience.
