Also in an interview with TOI, Saumya said that she had visited Kabul in 2008, and it is heartbreaking for her to see how people are scrambling for their lives and the visuals are extremely disturbing.

Saumya who went there to shoot for an International Project and stayed for a month recounts, "There were two women in the unit, including my co-actor and a crew member. They told me how difficult it was for women and how much they had to fight for their freedom. My co-actors spoke about the constant terror they lived in. They were living in fear and uncertainty for many years and look what has happened to them again.”
During her stay period, Saumya ended up making few friends and now she is concerned about them as she is unable to reach them, “After the recent unrest, I tried contacting my Indian friends through whom I had gone there, but I didn’t get any reply. I hope they are safe. I just want to reach out and ask them if they are okay because the visuals that we are seeing are very disturbing. I feel helpless, but my prayers are with them and my heart goes out to them.”
