According to Khushi, she did not plan on wearing the gown. Before the premiere, she spoke with her stylist who was giving her ideas for several gowns she might have worn, as well as new trendy outfits. She said that when it came to the premiere, she didn't want to make any kind of fashion statement because it was such an important day for her.

Khushi expressed that she was nervous, and had got an idea in the week coming up to it and wanted to wear something from her mom, Sridevi's collection whether it was jewelry or a dress. That day, she felt like she needed some extra help and it was a significant thing, and she wanted her to be there in some way. "So I browsed through some of the old outfits we had and chose it," she added.

I knew exactly what I was going to do. Not for any other reason than that I was immediately drawn to it. I was captivated by the camera, the lighting, and the ability to create a tale for a living. It was just understood."
