Actress Tina Bhatia best known for playing choti ammi in Gully Boy and Dulhin in Gulabo Sitaboo is currently seen in Welcome Home streaming on SonyLiv. She is plays a pivotal role in the film along with her real life husband.

Sharing her experience playing a Stockholm syndrome victim, she says, "I'm essaying a character named Prerna. I chose this character because it holds a matter role in the climax and turning point of the film Welcome Home. After saying yes to the film, I came to know about Stockholm syndrome. Then I took references from the director and did a lot of research about it since it is rare in India. It was very challenging for me when I got to know more peculiarities of this syndrome. So taking references and getting into the skin of the character was altogether a new experience that I learnt. As people suffering from this syndrome are not fully abnormal so I had to maintain that throughout as she was the victim but not mentally retarded."

Talking about the film, she said, "Two census takers (teacher) ring the wrong doorbell wherein the character Prerna who is pregnant opens the door. Her child-like manner and the bruises on her body make them suspicious and due to which they again return back to the place where they discover more enthralling and thrilling instances."

Along with Tina her real life husband Boloram Das who was seen in Pepper Chicken, Karwaan, Blank, Gabbar is Back is playing an impactful role of a terrifying man who promises to perform horrible deeds and goes right ahead.

Talking about their working together, Boloram shares, "Initially I was not a part of the film but due to an accident of the actor who was finalized, I got on board with the team. Tina is not only my wife but was also my batchmate at NSD. So we are very much familiar about each other's work. Interesting part is this is the first film released in which we are together but we didn't share any shot together except one frame. Apart from that there's no scene or dialogues together. We analyze each other's work and at the same time help each other. So it was a great opportunity together."
