Recently, in an interview with Pinkvilla, Rupali Ganguly opened up about her bond with Akshay Kumar. She said, "Akshay is family to us. My father signed him on in his early days, and that's how we came to know him. When we met him, we were pleasantly surprised, and I remember my father saying that this person is made for stardom. Akshay is so punctual, hard-working and such a down-to-earth person. When we used to go outdoors for Papa's films, I remember Akshay used to wake up early in the morning at 4 am and work out. My father is very proud of him, and always fond of him. So, because of my father, Akshay Kumar became very close to me, and I started tying 'Rakhi' to him. The friendship that had been lost for almost 30 years has now been rekindled due to 'Ravivaar with Star Parivaar'."

In the upcoming episode of Ravivaar With Star Parivaar, the actors will be dressed up in the 1980s and 1990s styles. The elder generation and younger generation will be dressed in the 80s and 90s style respectively.
