Ananya told Pinkvilla, "We all are fans of his music. We feel like the industry has lost its golden charm. My dad always credits Bappi Da (for) giving him his career because he has composed my dad's most iconic songs, be it 'Laal Dupatte Wali' or 'Tutak Tutak'. So my dad has such fond memories with him, and we will all miss him. But his music will live forever."
