Mehazabien, known for her reserved demeanour, shared her excitement about meeting global icons like Will Smith, Emily Blunt, and Ranbir Kapoor during the festival.

In an interview with local media, she said, "Getting the chance to take a selfie with Ranbir Kapoor felt like a stroke of luck. I introduced myself, gave him a brief overview of my film, and we exchanged a few pleasantries before taking the photo."  

The actress, who described herself as a big fan of Kapoor, added, "He's such a versatile actor, which I deeply admire. Approaching celebrities isn't something I find easy to do, but this moment with Ranbir was truly special."
