Speaking with Bollywood Hungama, Karan Singh Grover said, "If you knew her story, even though she’s 14 months old, she was born with two holes in her heart, and we had to go through an open-heart surgery. When Mamta (from the production house Marflix) first heard about it, she’s like, ‘She’s a fighter.’ I was like, ‘Dude, she is like the smallest, littlest fighter that we have, and she was the first one.’ She is like the fighter and her being with the fighter kind of merged together.”

Karan also opened up about the 'difficult situation' and how he and Bipasha Basu dealt with it together. “Well, we didn’t really know till the third day of her birth. I would just say that to be a parent kind of requires some other strength and respect to all parents, man. And I think it was a very, very difficult situation," he added.
