When Kapil asked the veteran actor about Esha’s childhood as well as her Bollywood Debut, to which Hema replied, "Esha was interested in extracurricular activities such as sports and dance. Like in our house, we used to do dance practice because of which she started liking it and wanted to be a professional dancer and even make her career in Bollywood. However, Dharamji didn’t like her daughter dancing or making her Bollywood debut and he had an objection to that."

She further added, "Later, when Dharamji got to know the type of Nritya(dance) which I do and how people appreciated me and my work, which fortunately made him change his mind and then he accepted her daughters dancing and also Esha’s Bollywood Debut."

Further, in the show, Esha Deol shared anecdotes behind the making of her book and how she invented and discovered different types of recipes at home, which will be helpful for new mothers and she mentioned that it took more than a year to complete the book and she was also pregnant at that time with the second child.
