After learning all these praises and reactions after the release of the film, Farooki became emotional and posted on Facebook to thank everyone.

 When it comes to speaking the truth, your reaction to "Something Like an Autobiography" has intrigued me a bit, though it has also provided some sort of reassurance! It seems like I haven't received this kind of reaction since the release of "Television". As if I forgot, what emotions do I feel when I get such a response?," he wrote

Observing all kinds of comments and reactions he added, "Many have complained that I haven't created such stories lately. I just want to say, let my name be known by saying this, I am one of you! Love from Tisha and me."

The director further shared that his parents haven't watched any of his films. "'Television' was probably the only film they had watched. Each time I watch 'Autobiography', I am brought to tears. I feel a sense of incompleteness because my parents weren't shown this film. Yet, this movie is the one they needed to see the most."
