Ankush is getting better and better at acting.. A great story and cinematography..

[@zoq-e-aahang401]

One of my relative's child died just like Anna and that scene gave me goosebumps. how painful that time would be for the parents its unimaginable and what was more painful that everybody was blaming the mother, her neglect for a little moment cause that sever lose 💔

[@Shashikant-dr5qo]

The story is very close to real life. Wife is suffering from mental condition. and husband is the only one to take care of her. During this time, the wife is pregnant, husband feels that his wife does not love him. Kinda both are depressed and anxious about their future. Due to this, both forgot to repair the railing. At the end, the mishappening takes place and husband thinks that he was responsible for that while wife thinks that it was her fault. Actually everyone of us want love and care. In taking care of other, one should not forget to take care of himself too.

I was waiting for prapti in such a role and she nailed it. Ankush was so poised and balanced as well. Loved it 😊

[@pradhyumbandekar7126]

This video deserves more views

[@resmiyazuleiqa7572]

This....❤💔

[@pearlshah7776]

What was the take away?

[@ritujashah5418]

Don't bash doctors unnecessarily in the guise of a dumb character. Your entire narrative could have been fine without it. Seriously.

[@ayanpaul7310]

An actual d head founded...stop being immature bruh!!

[@yatisrivastava6580]

I second you. The unnecessary stuff could have been cut off as well. This makes it difficult for medicos who actually want to pursue this field because this is so unexplored. And people just use bad words as if the therapists are nothing but failures.

[@tia5374]

Trueeeee

[@gazalandherworld]

Can i say i just love this ❤️

[@sangriagirlonadate9810]

Oh my god. My heart is numb right now....

[@atriacharya2967]

I'm just 19, 3rd yr B.Tech. , this wayyyy too complicated for me.

[@rimmyk6355]

My heart stopped seeing the tiny footprints ending at the balcony...

[@Unknown-zp2lf]

mine is still now. i still can remember that day..................

[@yoginiprabhu8048]

all that made me ponder about, mental health and seeking a therapist, is that how does one know he is actually into depression and he needs to opt for the above, as he is engrossed into own situations. There has to be second person who is monitoring him i.e. his well-being , or someone to whom he tells his updates trully (not just social-media uploads).

[@Rocksyjohn]

Prapti Elizabeth

[@alvinachowdhury918]

What kind of irresponsible parents keep a gaping hole like that open with a toddler in the house 🙄

[@sunita-soni]

True yaar.. Leaving baby for a sec is risky bt leaving a gap like this when a baby is there at home is just foolishness..

[@Unknown-zp2lf]

kinda like me

[@kshitishgutti3256]

Even there are many idiots who does reading or sending a text message, emailing, checking social media or watching videos while driving along with family on board, jeopardizing own and other's life.

[@pallavipanda1453]

It's easy to blame new parents. Not everyone is same

[@adissadi]

[@sakshiverma7659]

Similar incident happen to my uncle’s daughter...they still misses her...it took them many years to come out of that pain...

[@atriacharya2967]

Sorry about that

[@dewanshivemuri1104]

Lot of ppl talking about the railing the baby the girl the psychiatrist but can we understand what that man was going through. Do you all understand how ugly is it when someone falls out of love from you just like that one fine day without any reason feeling unloved is nasty it makes you go crazy

[@praggyab]

what's with the sound of glasses colliding in the bg again and again....idk I noticed that way more than i should have and now it became irritating for me 😅

[@ritikaanand8266]

Sad

[@sonu-wu7kq]

Baby is alone

[@ananyapaul7817]

Everything is fine but i just don't understand how can a girl go to a guy's place on the first date

[@davidsarkar6108]

😢😢😢😢

[@pallavilondhe1030]

💔💔💔💔💔💔

[@subhadash4624]

One of the best of you people..But the comment on psychiatrists is completely unnecessary ..How can you motivate people to consult therapist for mental illness with these lines .Be careful next time .

[@Baasnhuish]

Bhai fix kra leta pehle se hi.........😢

[@vartikavaish6377]

Correct to story kaise Banti. BAAP re such a careless mistake

[@mohammadzaid8944]

Dude this is a nice try but you need to add some humour in it... btw great approach 😘

[@Chamian]

She looks like deepika padukone

[@sunita-soni]

Blue footprints... Tooooo painful to see afterwords...

[@Unknown-zp2lf]

so i just scrolled down the comment section

[@sunita-soni]

Sahi kiya..👍 U know that scene... I couldn't able to forget that scene for few weeks..

[@fouziakhandoker7044]

Ankush is a bahuguna...haha

[@asitkaushik2524]

This is CARELESS PARENTING! What was that gaping hole doing in the balcony when they knew that their little one had already started walking? Recently I visited an old friend’s house in one of the high rises of G. Noida and happened to find the balcony railing unusually high. On being asked I was told that the elevation was done by him for the safety of his children.

[@pallavipanda1453]

The next time you call a parent careless, remember that, writing such a comments signifies that you have some really bad unrecognised trauma. Which would mean, your parents also did careless parenting.

[@asitkaushik2524]

@@pallavipanda1453 No offence meant Pallavi. My comments were story specific and had nothing to do with my own parents. They were very responsible and caring. God bless their souls. My observations were based on my own paranoia after becoming a parent as well as some unfortunate incidents that had occurred in my close vicinity.

[@dr.abhishekpanwar4293]

Compulsive liar♥️

[@ravleenkaur5011]

Guys, give a trigger warning at least.

[@ash91297]

Wow that comment about psychiatrists is really obnoxious. Not watching any further, byeeeee.

[@halseyxxxo3064]

Ain't that true in some way?

[@ash91297]

@@halseyxxxo3064 I'm not denying that a small part of it may be true. That doesn't mean the entire psychiatrist community should be slammed in such a way on such a platform. It can discourage people actually facing mental health problems from seeinh a therapist. A person doesn't become a psychiatrist after spending 8 and a half years in med school just to be called a high profile know it all idiot by someone he/she is only trying to help. That precisely is the problem with this country. Most people think of doctors as people whose only objective in life is to drain people of their wealth to be rich themselves.
