Previously, another star from the series, Arun Govil was touched by a special gesture from a fan at the Mumbai Airport. A woman, visibly in tears, fell at Govil’s feet at the airport early in the morning. As he requests a person with her to pick her up, the woman is seen on her knees with folded hands in front of him while making a special request. "Yeh unn bhakton ke mann mein aata hai ki iss aadmi ke paaon chhoone hain (This happens in the hearts of those devotees who realise whom to bow down in respect). I’ve always believed that they are not touching my feet, they are paying an ode to their own belief and faith. I am a mere symbol, Lord Ram made me that," Govil said later while reacting to the viral video. Meanwhile, Dipika was recently seen in director Karan Razdan's film Hindutva: Chapter One which was released on October 7, 2022.
