“Ria is such a spirited and passionate person. She really truly will go to the ends of the earth to save her sister from anything,” Priya Kansara, who plays Ria, told NBC News. “It’s just such an ode to sibling relationships but also goes through all of the ups and downs that that relationship consists of.”
“She surprises herself [by getting] engaged that quickly because she’s sort of a rebel at heart,” she said. “I think it’s very unexpected that Lena would do that, and that’s also why she does it.” Arya believes Lena’s decision to get married is multifaceted; she’s unpredictable, but also feels the pressure of being a positive role model for Ria.
“[She is one of the] only people in the world who supports her so unconditionally, particularly in her dream of being a stunt woman. Then, seeing Lena go through all of the things that she’s going through in terms of doubting her own ability to be an artist makes Ria question herself as well,” she said. “And then there’s this feeling that it’s Salim that’s taking her away from her dream makes her feel like that even more.”“I think Ria wants to defy societal norms.
