So If I was hanging with my friends and suddenly they were playing a game that I did not like. I’d be like, ‘I am leaving.’ And then Suhana (Khan) was so sweet, she would start crying and just be like, ‘Please don’t leave, please don’t leave,’ and hug me, and say, ‘We’ll play whatever game you want to.’”

“But then I think she (Suhana Khan) started catching on to this thing that I was doing and then one time she’s like, ‘ok. Leave.’ And then I left. We were like 10, so it’s not so dramatic. And then I left. I went home and I was like, ‘What do I do? No one’s calling me back or anything.’ So then I went back and I was like, ‘I just went to pick up my book actually,” Ananya Panday added.

In his review for NDTV, Saibal Chatterjee gave the movie a strong 3-star ranking and wrote, “Ananya Panday does a fair enough job of a character stuck in a single-note loop. It may be centred on the superficiality of cocooned lives, but Kho Gaye Hum Kahan finds depths and layers that stand it in good stead and make it a film to watch and mull over.”
