People have high expectation from Simosh Sunwar’s First Love. Although the movie was told to be based on an original story, it was later found that the story was copied from a 1982 Hollywood movie, The Last American Virgin. The success would certainly depend on how well Simosh has copied it.

Many were surprised to see Namrata during the audio release of the movie but none suspected about her acting in the movie. It wasn’t until the premier, the fact about Namrata’s role in the movie was known.

Namrata’s role in the movie however is very short. She is acting in it as a guest actress and she appears at the end of the movie.
