In an Extra Masala snippet, Sonali expresses her views on Rahul Mahajan before entering the show. She states, “Aap mujhe dikh hi nahi rahe the. Mene 10 episodes dekhe usme mujhe aap bohat kaam dikhe.”
Mahajan reasoning on the same states, “Mere health barabar nahi tha.” Sonali later adds to it that he has now improved and the way he performed his captaincy was immensely appreciated and needs to be applauded. Mahajan hearing this had a smile and said, “Apne jabse mujhe bola yeh, tabse mein game mein ‘Active’ hu.”
