In an interview with Mirchi Plus, she shared, “The mic in front of my face was switched off intentionally. The woman said ‘Janhvi ke saamne vale mic ko off karo’ (Turn off the mic in front of Janhvi.)’’

With a mischievous smile, Rajkummar said, "Rakha kyu bechari ko fir? Mana kar dete ( For what reason did they keep the poor girl in the choir? They could’ve declined.)”

Janhvi jokingly said, "Nepotism, of course. Isliye toh rakha tha mujhe choir mein. (That’s why they kept me).”
