Reflecting on the emotions the film stirred within her, Kriti said it reminded her of both her “daaddu” and “naanu.” While she thinks of them every day, she admitted that the film made her pause and reflect on the sacrifices made by the generations before them. She noted that people often take the land beneath their feet for granted, without realizing that someone may have left behind their entire world to make that life possible.

Expressing her admiration for filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, Kriti wrote, “Aapki filmein aksar ghar jaisi lagti hain. Iss baar ghar nahi mila. Iss baar… ghar ki yaad mil gayi.” Her words conveyed that the film went beyond portraying the idea of home—it awakened a deep longing and nostalgia for it.

She also shared that Main Vaapas Aaunga transformed her perspective on the meaning of home. “Shayad ghar sirf woh jagah nahi hoti jahan hum rehte hain. Kabhi kabhi ghar woh bhi hota hai jahan hum kabhi wapas nahi jaa paate,” she wrote, suggesting that home is not always a physical place but can also exist in memories of places we may never return to.

Concluding her heartfelt message, Kriti thanked the makers for celebrating the ordinary individual as a hero. She dedicated her gratitude to her own grandparents and countless others who share similar stories, writing, “Shukriya uss aam aadmi ko hero banane ke liye. Mere daaddu aur Naanuu aur unn jaise kai logon ko hero banane ke liye,” ending her tribute with a heart emoji.
