In the episode, Parineeti Chopra revealed that she was initially offered Rashmika Mandanna’s role in Animal, which stars Ranbir Kapoor. However, scheduling conflicts led her to make a choice. She said, “I had to choose between the two films, and I chose Chamkila because I was already in love with the story. Little did I know that this film would also bring a love story of my own”, according to a report by Bollywood Hungama.
While shooting for "Chamkila", Parineeti crossed paths with Aam Aadmi Party leader Raghav Chadha, who is now her husband. Sharing their love story, she revealed that their first meeting was at an awards event in London, facilitated by her brother Shivang, who admired Raghav.
