Speaking exclusively with IndiaToday.in, Darasing, who considers Harnaaz his sister, said, "During the shoot of our film, she told me that she participated in Miss India 2019 but couldn't win the crown. She also told me then that she wanted to go back and definitely win the crown this time. It was one of her dreams and she wanted to fulfill that. Since then, I have always motivated her. I remember her family couldn't go to watch her finale due to Covid restrictions, so she wanted me to be present at the finale and I was there. I saw the crowing moment and it was a fantastic feeling."When asked whether he shared any tips with Harnaaz before she left for the finale, Darasing spoke fondly about Harnaaz's charming personality. "Honestly, she had it all in her, it's just that she didn't know she had it in her and I could see that. I just motivated and pushed her. I would tell her to read a lot, which could help her with answering the questions confidently. We didn't have to worry about her appearance. All she had to do was read and learn," Darasing said.
