According to Bollywood Hungama, talking about playing Kasturba Gandhi in Gandhi, Bhamini Oza said, "Stepping into Kasturba Gandhi's shoes feels like a beautiful twist of fate in my acting journey. Working with Hansal Mehta and the Applause Entertainment team is a dream come true, especially alongside my husband Pratik. Since our early theatre days, we've dreamed of sharing screen space together, and now it's finally happening. My attempt is to bring honesty to the character and a genuine connection to the story.”
