Speaking to Instant Bollywood, the singer-actor said that there is a misconception that star kids don't work hard, but Janhvi is not like that. As most of his scenes were with Janhvi, he saw her dedication to work. He added, "She does what she says. When she says, ‘I am going to get into the project fully and work hard,’ she actually does that. That was very nice to see. I felt motivated just looking at her.”
