He said that when it released, he thought his life would change and he would get opportunities to sing professionally but nothing of that sort happened. Later, he got another track Baki Baatein Peene Baad with Badshah. It was a hit but still, even after that, it took a while for him to register himself as a hit musician. He added that when his first single Fursat was released, it was the exact moment when his life changed. People started recognising him and he started having fan pages.

Talking about how he is dealing with the nationwide lockdown, Arjun Kanungo said that it is getting on his nerves. He wants to go out, meet his friends, and work. He mentioned that he misses performing and he is also waiting for his debut movie which was scheduled to release on Eid.
