The scene captures Bae’s playful bridal entry, complete with gestures reminiscent of Kiara’s own wedding, such as pulling on an imaginary rope and Agastya checking his watch impatiently. Vihaan expressed his initial apprehension about this recreation and told the Free Press Journal, that it was a particularly memorable moment during the Call Me Bae shoot.
