Sharing the memory, Sanjay Kapoor said, “It was Shanaya’s 13th birthday. At that time, he (Sidharth Malhotra) was doing Student Of The Year and she had a crush on him. Karan sent Sidharth at 12 am as a birthday gift."

Sidharth then added his perspective, saying, “I got a text that it’s someone’s birthday. I thought it was his birthday, but it was Shanaya’s. So, I went to his house." Sanjay further revealed, “Karan had asked both Sid and Varun to go, but Varun was like, ‘Why will I go? She is Sid’s fan!’”

The episode also featured child actor Inayat Verma, who impressed viewers with her film set anecdotes. Despite being just 13, she has already worked with Ranbir Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan, Janhvi Kapoor, and Sidharth Malhotra. Talking about her school life, Inayat said, “Yes, they did. ‘I want to click a picture with him. Please Inayat.’ More than teachers, my classmates ask me about how Janhvi ma’am and Sidharth sir are by nature."
