Mrunal commented on Shahid's post by writing, "Let’s goooooooo."

Talking about the shoot experience in Uttarakhand during the coronavirus pandemic, Mrunal had earlier told DNA, "I am blessed to have such wonderful producers. Everybody was comfortable, going through the necessary precautions and safety measures. I thought it was going to be very difficult but it was very smooth. We became a family altogether. We finished this schedule in 20 days, so it took us a long time to finish the shoot and it was really worth it."

She added, "Going to Uttarakhand was also the best break and it was so beautiful. Mumbai in lockdown was really claustrophobic. I needed that change and nothing can make me feel better than standing in front of the camera. Can't wait to shoot for the next schedule soon."
