Sanya told Dharmesh, "Life has come a full circle for me today. Six years back, I had come to this studio for a dance-reality show audition and I did not clear it. And I remember, it was 1 a.m. in the night when I got free and I called my friend and said that I have not been able to get through and to come and pick me up. And you were there, Dharmesh sir. I was not able to clear it because of you. But now, I am here to promote my film."

Dharmesh in response too, "I think when you left, you left with a lot of courage that 'Mujhe ab karke dikhana hai'.
