Speaking about the craze of 'Jalebi' song in the US, the actress told the portal, "Whenever I walk on the streets and people are like 'Hey Jalebi Baby' and 'Are you Jalebi Baby'. I will share videos with you. I wasn't even aware where it came from. Then my manager told me that this song is a hit."

On being asked if she actually didn't know about the viral 'Jalebi Baby' song, the Welcome actress revealed that she wasn't aware about the track.

"They called me and asked me if I can do this song. Mujhe laga kaun faltu hai (I was like who is this person)." And I told them, don't call and disturb me and get lost. I cut the call then. I wasn't even aware who was Tesher. How would I know? I get so many crank calls and I thought someone is doing a prank on me," Sherawat told the portal.
