IC 814: The actress who portrayed the Kandahar Hijack character likewise reminisced about filming the show, describing it as an emotionally taxing yet profoundly fulfilling adventure. She likened it to working on not one but three feature-length movies. Despite the challenging physical conditions in the rugged mountains, it was the emotional bond she shared with the project that kept her going.

She expressed that each day felt like an exhilarating peak, given our deep emotional bond with the experience. She conveyed her fondness for every instant of it, from the expansive, snow-draped vistas and blossoming apricot orchards to the joyful chatter of kids and the soothing symphony of birdsong, referring to it as an ‘unforgettable memory’.

Dia also emphasized that embracing this role transformed her life profoundly. She explained that the lesson she learned was the significance of fearlessness. The actress further commented, “True autonomy can only be attained by overcoming all fears. This means making choices without fear’s influence. And once you are free from fear, it alters everything – how I choose to live, how I wish to raise my child, and the voice I aspire to have in this world.
