  "account": "On September 11, the cast and creators of the film Daayra gathered at a suburban five-star hotel to unveil its title track, \"Sach Ka Daayra.\" Composed by Amit Trivedi and penned by the renowned Gulzar, the song was performed by B Praak. Filmmaker Meghna Gulzar, her father Gulzar, and the film's lead actors Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran engaged in conversation during the event, which was also attended by the Free Press Journal.\n\nKareena Kapoor Khan, known for her expressive nature, expressed her nervousness about sharing the stage with Gulzar for the first time. She explained that working with a legendary figure like Gulzar was a significant moment for any actor, as she had followed his films since childhood. Kareena also mentioned that Gulzar's daughter-in-law, her daughter, was fortunate to work with him on multiple occasions, bringing a complete circle to their professional relationship.\n\nThe audience responded with thunderous applause when Kareena expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with such a celebrated artist. Gulzar himself acknowledged the audience's response, thanking everyone for their support.\n\nWhen asked about Meghna's expressive nature on set, Kareena revealed that she had to be cautious and maintain her composure during shoots, as Meghna is known for her demanding personality. Kareena even joked about the necessity of arriving at the set half an hour early to avoid upsetting Meghna during the filming process. Despite her expressive character, Ajuni, Kareena acknowledged that the role brought a new dimension to her acting skills.\n\nMeghna Gulzar was then questioned about whether she hoped to address questions or provide answers through the story of Daayra. She responded that if solutions were available, they would have presented them; however, the film sought to raise questions about the issues it addressed. The director emphasized that stories often lack clear solutions, but it was important to explore and question the underlying problems.\n\nThe filmmaker also touched upon the challenge of bringing real-life harsh realities onto the screen. He explained that while fictionalizing a story based on reality was necessary, it was crucial to maintain a balance and avoid exploiting or sensationalizing sensitive incidents.",
