In a video doing the rounds on the internet, Sherlyn, wearing a bright smile, is seen approaching Rani at the pandal. As she moves to touch Rani's feet, Rani quickly steps back, signaling Sherlyn not to do so. Despite the brief surprise, the two then applied sindoor to each other, following the traditional practice. After the exchange, Sherlyn went on her way. Sherlyn was dressed in a stunning red and gold silk saree, her hair adorned with fresh flowers, while Rani looked elegant in a cream and gold saree paired with a red blouse.
