Later, after the episode went viral, Samay penned a note appreciating both Alia and Sharvari. He wrote, “Soooo much love for @aliaabhatt and @sharvari for being so chill and fun.

Behind-the-scenes videos from the show are also going viral. In one such clip, Alia spoke about watching an episode of Latent before coming on the show and how she couldn’t stop laughing. She said, “I have only watched Latent, by the way, on my flight. You sent me that episode, which I watched; I was laughing loudly (imitates herself) and, like, not realising Raha is sleeping next to me, with my headphones, disturbing everybody."
