Shevade also spoke to IFP World about his experience working with Navarrette during the making of the film. “It happened during my thesis film back in 2018, Cross Words Together, in Los Angeles, which was a SAG-approved project. At the time, Inde (Obsession) needed one more qualifying project to become SAG eligible, and she auditioned for one of the lead roles. Our film explored different perspectives on love through three women at different stages of life: a teenage girl, a pregnant married woman, and an elderly woman. Inde played the teenager, a young girl still trying to understand what love actually means. The role required a certain innocence and emotional honesty, and that’s something she brought naturally to the screen.”

Reflecting further on her growth as an actor, he added, “Looking back, it reminds me how versatile she is as an actor. In Cross Words, she brought a sense of innocence and curiosity to the character. That’s the mark of a versatile performer. I’m proud that our film was a small part of her journey, and it’s wonderful to see her continue to grow and connect with audiences around the world.”
