On her first impression of meeting Gaurav, she said, “There were a lot of names floating around in regards to Anuj, and Ketki (creative head) was like, you have a look test and this was after my pack up at around 7:30 PM, I didn’t even know that he had come on set, and DKP should be in CBI because they were so secretive, I didn’t even know that they had brought him on set. And I usually credit myself that usually that I know everything but I don’t actually. I was doing a scene with Toshu, and Ketki wouldn’t tell me who had come. I was also pitching some of my friends, and then she showed me his picture and sorry, (looking at Gaurav) but I had not seen any of his shows, and I thought some other Gaurav had been cast, but I saw his picture, and it was very posh, sophisticated and polished, and I saw him on set, just jumping with energy and I heard his laughter before I saw him .
