In an exclusive conversation, Medha Rana opens up about her emotional journey after the release of her film and the overwhelming love she has received from audiences. She recalls how Varun Dhawan messaged her the morning after the film’s release, checking in on how she was feeling, a moment that made the success even more special for her. Medha shares her experience of working on her first music video with Anuv Jain, calling it her first step into acting and a project that remains very close to her heart.

Reflecting on her film role inspired by real-life stories, Medha reveals how meeting the real person behind the character after completing the shoot was a powerful and emotional experience. She explains how not meeting her earlier allowed her creative freedom to interpret the character in her own way, making the process even more meaningful. Coming from an army family, Medha discusses how her upbringing helped her connect emotionally with the story and how she prepared for her Haryanvi role by learning diction from her mother and grandmother. She credits the director and the entire team for creating such a beautiful, comfortable environment on set, especially praising Varun Dhawan for his calm, supportive energy that helped her overcome her initial shyness. The actress also talks about handling fame in today’s social media world, admitting that while she is naturally spontaneous and emotional, she is now learning to be more mindful and balanced with what she shares publicly. In a fun rapid-fire round, Medha reveals her love for versatile characters (comparing herself to a “potato”), her admiration for Anushka Sharma, her dream of playing a superhero one day, and her inspiration from sports icons like PV Sindhu and Maria Sharapova. Ending on a heartfelt note, Medha thanks fans for the immense love and support, expressing her hope to continue doing meaningful roles that inspire and touch people’s hearts.
