Rupali discussed their friendship in one of her interviews with The Times of India. She'd stated For twelve years we were just friends. I had acted in one of his ads so that's how we initially connected. Then we grew close and began working together. He served as my confidant friend mentor and philosopher.

As soon as Ashwin entered the room the pandit began to recite Mantra.
