Our Take: Why This Matters
In our view, this is a simple but meaningful moment in the film industry. Actors often praise directors in generic ways, but Gurfateh's post feels honest. He talks about the hard parts — the sleepless nights and the pressure — and still calls the experience unreal. That says a lot about how Kiran Rao runs a set.
To put it plainly, Lust Stories 3 gave Gurfateh a chance to work with one of the most respected filmmakers in the country, and he is not hiding how much it meant to him. For fans, this is a reminder that behind every segment in an anthology, there is a team pushing itself to the limit. If you have watched Lust Stories 3, Gurfateh's words might make you appreciate his segment a little more.
