• In an interview, Bhumika recalled that before the show premiered, she went for the promotion of the show to a paan shop somewhere in UP or MP. She said that initially there were no fans but gradually the number of fans started increasing and she had no security or guards.

While she was closing the door of her car, a fan put his hand inside and asked her for an autograph saying that he’d die if she denied it. ^[6]YouTube
