In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Anurag Kashyap revealed how deeply emotional he became during his daughter Aaliyah Kashyap’s wedding. He shared, “At my daughter’s wedding, after the varmala and havan was done, I couldn’t handle it. I was so overwhelmed and emotional, I wanted to leave the wedding, even before the reception began.

I don’t know why and in front of random people. Suddenly, I stopped drinking, I stopped crying, everything just stopped. I think this was a big catharsis for me, which went on for 10 days,” he further stated.
