In an interview with the Times of India, when Ridhi was asked to comment on Raqesh and Shamita's blooming love, Ridhi said, " I am happy if Raqesh is happy. It's his personal space."
Ridhi also spoke about Raqesh's performance in the show and said, "He is the kind of person that you are seeing on the show. If there are more than two people, it's a crowd for him. He doesn't like to scream and shout to say what he wants to, instead he talks to people that he is comfortable with and trusts. On the other hand, Nishant is playing really well and he is also a friend of mine. I know he wanted to be part of this show and he is doing an excellent job. He is entertaining so well and I feel that I am watching my friends' show with Nishant, Raqesh and earlier Ridhima being a part of it."
