In a special shout-out and public recognition to Roy and Balsara, Chopra expressed excitement over seeing their performances. She said, "To see the two incredibly talented leads @adivroy @sonyabalsara who are Indian made my little heart flutter! You were all mesmerizing!"
The actor-duo responded to her post, "Words can’t express how special it was to meet you and your family. Thank you for being such an inspiration and pioneer for our community," said Balsara.
Roy went for a more playful response and said, "Thanks for visiting Agrabah!! Glad yall could make it out," in a nod to the fictional city that serves as the primary setting for Disney's 'Aladdin' franchise.
Balsara plays the spirited and independent Princess Jasmine, who boldly seeks love and adventure beyond her palace, while Roy plays Aladdin, a resourceful and charming street-smart hero whose bravery and loyalty shine in his quest for a better life.
