As Do Deewane Seher Mein prepares for its February 20 release, actress Sandeepa Dhar is drawing attention with her thoughtful reflection on the emotional impact of sibling comparisons. Starring alongside Mrunal Thakur, she explores a layered and relatable sister dynamic that forms the emotional core of the film.
Sharing her perspective, Sandeepa highlighted how common it is for individuals to grow up being compared to siblings, cousins, or even peers. Such comparisons, often made casually by family members or teachers, can leave lasting emotional impressions.
Through her character Naina, Sandeepa experienced the pressures of being perceived as the “ideal” sibling. In the story, Naina and her sister Roshni are caught in a cycle of comparison — one is constantly told she is too much, while the other is made to feel she is never enough.
Sandeepa noted that portraying Naina helped her understand how comparison can shape identity and self-worth. Naina faces the burden of maintaining an impossibly high standard, while Roshni struggles with feelings of inadequacy. This dynamic gradually transforms what should be a bond of unconditional love into a relationship influenced by rivalry and emotional distance.
The actress reflected on how seemingly harmless remarks like “be more like your sister” can evolve into internal voices that affect confidence and self-perception over time. Such statements, though often unintended, may leave deep emotional marks that influence personal development well into adulthood.
Beyond its romantic narrative, Do Deewane Seher Mein addresses a broader social theme — the impact of comparison on relationships and identity. The film aims to highlight how these experiences extend beyond childhood, shaping how individuals see themselves and interact with others.
By presenting both sides of the comparison spectrum — the one who feels pressured to excel and the one who feels they can never measure up — the story invites audiences to reflect on their own experiences.
With its focus on emotional authenticity, the film promises to explore not just love, but also the complexities of family expectations and personal identity.
Ultimately, Sandeepa’s reflection underscores a universal truth: comparison may begin as a simple observation, but its effects can influence relationships and self-worth for years.
