Sara Ali Khan thanks fans for loving 'Chumki', posts rare bts photos from Metro In Dino

Sara Ali Khan has offered fans a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse from the sets of Metro In Dino, where she plays Chumki. Sharing a bunch of candid photos on social media, the actor also took a moment to thank the audience for embracing her role in Anurag Basu’s ensemble drama, which released on July 4.

In the carousel of images, Sara can be seen in different moods—both in and out of character. The first photo features her flashing a wide smile in costume. Another shot captures a light moment with director Anurag Basu, who is seen playfully donning a wig. One of the frames includes a still from a dinner scene with co-star Aditya Roy Kapur, while two others appear to be from the toy train sequence during the film’s climax.

Sharing the post, Sara wrote, “Grateful, blessed and so so so happy. Thank you for all the love you’ve given our film and for accepting and loving Chumki too. P.S clearly there was no middle ground with our moods.”

Metro In Dino, a multi-narrative film, explores the complexities of present-day relationships. During the film’s trailer launch, Sara and Aditya had shared their thoughts on modern dating concepts. When asked about ‘situationships,’ Aditya remarked, “I didn’t even understand term ki meaning kya hai. So, I guess am an old school in that.” Sara responded, “I also believe the same way. I don’t really believe in situationship.”

The film features a wide-ranging cast including Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh. With intersecting stories, the film tries to unpack how people navigate love, commitment, and emotional uncertainty in urban life.

Sara’s post gives fans a peek into the making of those stories—and highlights the off-camera warmth between the cast and crew. As Metro In Dino continues its theatrical run, these moments serve as a reminder of the effort behind the emotions seen on screen.
