And today after 23 years of the film's release, Rani Mukerji was asked about the sexism that the film has. In an interaction with India.com, she said,

"Falling in love is something very subjective to each person and we can't judge a person for their choices because, at the end of the day, it's your heart. You can't direct your heart to do things that a particular person would feel is morally right or morally wrong. What might come across right to you might be wrong for the other person. I think considering all the flaws that we all are living with, we should not sit and judge others for what they are doing.¡±

She even defends Rahul¡¯s character,

¡°I wouldn't categories Rahul's love to be only about just the 'look' - like he fell for Tina only because of her appearance. What also drove Rahul to like Tina was the fact that she was not like the other girls who became friends with him on the very first day." She also stated that Tina was more than a pretty face and those things attracted Rahul.

"I won't categorise it as 'he went for someone who looked great and not for Anjali who was more of a tomboy.' I won't make it as frivolous as that. I would say that there was a lot of depth to Tina's character for someone like Rahul to have fallen for her because at the end of it, it was Tina who understood the love that Rahul and Anjali had for each other. She, in turn, makes her daughter reunite the two of them. You know that Tina had a lot of depth along with being a good-looking girl".
