Hathaway revealed that she and Soléne both perceive themselves as "adventurous" in matters of love, reflecting on the significance of portraying such a character.

Discussing the character's journey, Hathaway emphasized her initial apprehension towards love due to past experiences. 

She expressed her profound appreciation for the opportunity to depict the narrative of a woman embracing personal growth and empowerment.
