At one point in the promo, Sait asks KJo: “What is more hurtful, the fact that you did not get to launch the star kids because Zoya Akhtar did it in The Archies." Kusha then quickly queried, "How did that feel? Did that cut deep?” To this, the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai helmer said “yes.”

The director captioned the promo, "This season was wholesome with a whole lot of fire too. Wrapping it up with our special jury who are NOT holding back to give their brew on the couch! (punch emoji)"
