This has got nothing to do with you knowing the virus coming into India. I actually get a little apprehensive sometimes about certain things, so when I learnt about the virus, I was the one carrying sanitiser and spraying.Ībir: Don’t lie. Rukmini: Abir was done with his dubbing right before the lockdown. How did it feel when you stepped out to dub during the pandemic? I will sanitise and I will keep it (laughs)! I said even if you can’t reach me, you send me the presents. I had a really quiet dinner with my mom and a couple of my friends. Rukmini: To begin with, a big t2 article! I stepped out of my house for the first time on my birthday. Rukmini, how did you spend your birthday on June 27? Rukmini: Yeah, so we will keep it private (laughs)! Rukmini: I have gifted him (Shibu, Abir’s character) two little daughters through this film (laughs)! But now that we are a pair, hashtag on screen, some birthday gifts are better kept a secret! So, what gift is Rukmini planning for Abir this year? But I would like to add that I would love to get birthday gifts! Hello Rukmini! But if we see that around that time people are going to the cinema halls and they are liking it, if we can make people smile a little and make them happy for a while, that would be my best birthday. But this time I am not sure if that will happen. Otherwise every year my wife Nandini and I go somewhere. But this time I have told them strictly not to come, to avoid a gathering. But there are people who come with cakes and gifts. Rukmini: Areh, I am like those bad guests who come and look at which is the biggest packet (laughs)!Ībir: But really I don’t celebrate my birthday. Rukmini: But he will give a return gift to me, a ticket to Switzerland!Ībir: I can only give you a return gift when I get a gift! What are your birthday plans?Ībir: I normally don’t celebrate my birthday. Rukmini: The reason why audiences loved the Switzerland trailer is because it is such a breath of fresh air, a ray of hope and a sign of positivity.Ībir, Switzerland is releasing on November 13. Every family has their dreams and aspirations which they try to balance within their means. People can connect to the struggles and aspirations of the characters on screen. People have also warmly welcomed me and Abir as a pair on screen, though it is our first film together.Ībir: The way people have spent these few months, I think, they are looking for something that will give them that positive energy. Switzerland is such a relatable piece of content.

I had given a nod to this film because I knew something like this would happen.

The love that my character has received post the trailer release is beyond belief.

Rumi, my character, is a modern Bengali woman. Rukmini: It has been fantastic! We as a team are very happy.
