Talking about her role in Musafir Cafe, Mahima said, “I genuinely felt a sense of completeness as an actor post shooting for Musafir Cafe. It gave me something I did not even realise I was looking for, and that feeling has stayed with me. I have always wanted to do something with Netflix, and this could not have come at a better time for me and that too a love story, something I yearned to do for the longest time in my career, and it’s just too many dreams come true. It has been an experience and creatively very fulfilling overall, which will always be ineffable in words for me to describe.”
