She was all praises for Sushant’s dance and remembered the time when she was judging a reality show and Sushant was a guest. She said, “I remembered Sushant had once come to a reality dance show as a guest celebrity, which I was judging. That was the only time a celebrity guest had danced better than the contestants on that show.” Sharing the reward she gave Sushant for nailing the song in one go, Farah said, “As a reward for nailing it perfectly, all Sushant wanted was food from my house. I got home-cooked food for him.” She further mentioned that she will remember how happy and alive he looked in the song.
