Zoya Akhtar on weird feedback during ZNMD screening

While recalling the incident, Zoya said, “I don’t take every feedback seriously to be honest. I don’t listen to everything. I have been shouted at once in a focus group by an uncle. That is why I have stopped going. He was producer’s father’s friend and during the focus group screening of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara he was like, ‘This is a rubbish movie. What is this movie. What are they doing? They are driving.’ I was like. Ok, Sir this movie is not for you. Because I cannot do anything to make this movie for you. This is it.’ And it’s not for him. But luckily for me there were some kids who were in their 20s who were like, ‘We liked it, we connected with it.’ So, then they started fighting and I got away.”
