Talking to India Today, Palak shared her reaction when she got to know Avinash had cheated on her. She said, “When this incident of cheating happened, I was on the set of Durga - Mata Ki Chayya. Simran (Budharup) was right in front of me. I broke down and I cried. She was like 'What happened?' I told her this is what had happened. And she has seen my whole journey. I was badly in depression and she has pulled me out of it.”
