While speaking to News24, Yami Gautam talked about why she chose 'Haq'. She shared, "Stories like Haq come to me at a time when I feel ready to take them on, and that’s not a coincidence. I let my instincts guide me. If a script challenges me, excites me, and has the potential to resonate deeply with people, I take that leap without overthinking. Being pushed outside my comfort zone is where meaningful transformation happens; that’s what keeps me artistically alive."
She added, "Haq tapped into something that deeply resonates with me: a woman’s identity, her rights, her voice. Maybe these subjects chase me, too, because when you remain authentic to who you are and what you believe in, the right scripts just gravitate towards you. I will not term it a Shero saga, in all its sense, but a story that is generational in every sense for women and our country."
