She told Raj in the interview, "There have been deals where you have loved their products, but then you went home and checked those products on Amazon, you go like, ‘Oh my God! What do you do now?’ but you can’t then go back, right? Because the data that they shared was correct, now products don’t have a good rating, then it is your problem. So stuff like that has also happened."

She also opened up about the parts of the show she didn't enjoy very much. Speaking on the same, she said, "The worst part is when they shoot your stills. You don’t have to use your brains at all, and you just have to pose."

On the other hand, she added, "Otherwise it is a very interesting show, I loved being there thought I was there for a very short period of time, of course because of being pregnant, but I gave them, in total, around eight days (eight episodes), but overall experience was very good. It was fun, especially the banter between the sharks, we had a lot of fun backstage."
