Alongside the photo, she penned a heartfelt note, revealing how they put down their cameras to help her grandmother. The note read, 'This morning, the paps caught me—but not on camera. They saw my dadi struggling to get out of the car, and instead of filming, they put their cameras down, held her hand, and walked her safely to where she had to go. What goes around, comes around. Kindness lives in the smallest moments. Thank you guys, your kindness made my day.' Rasha Thadani expressed gratitude towards the paparazzi for their kind behaviour.

Some even called her the 'next Katrina Kaif'. The song was composed by Amit Trivedi, penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, and choreographed by Bosco Leslie Martis. Rasha Thadani's upcoming film Rasha will next be seen opposite Munjya-fame actor Abhay Verma in Laikey Laikaa, directed by Saurabh Gupta.
