Meanwhile, talking about Aap Jaisa Koi, Fatima Sana Shaikh told ANI, "In this film, we are talking about finding true equality in love... Some are patriarchal and very aggressive, but here we are not talking about that man. We are talking about a very innocent man who actually wants to love. But his conditioning is such that he doesn't realise that the way he loves is not equal... after watching this film, men will realise that women today are not trying to control men... we are talking about something very simple - equality".
