Hansal Mehta: ‘Baai’ captures and honours unconditional love

Mumbai, May 9  Director Hansal Mehta has shared his perception of love that he portrayed in his story of ‘Modern Love Mumbai’ segment called ‘Baai’.

The anthology consists of six beautiful love stories of different kinds. Mehta, who has shown the brilliance of his storytelling in an anthology before with ‘Das Kahaniyaan’, this time he is back with a story of love called ‘Baai’.

“‘Baai’ captures and honours that unconditional love, one that we inherently seek irrespective of the nature of the relationship. It’s an ode to love that’s free from the burden of labels and the pressures of conforming,” the filmmaker added.
