Responding to Karan’s letter, Shanaya expressed her love and gratitude, assuring him of always having her back. Ekta Kapoor, Sanjay Kapoor, and Maheep Kapoor also sent their love and support to Karan through their comments.

Vrushabha, Shanaya Kapoor’s debut film, will feature the renowned actor Mohanlal alongside her. Zahrah S Khan, daughter of Salma Agha, and Roshann Meka will also be part of the project. Directed by Nanda Kishore, the film is scheduled to start filming in July.
