Speaking recently to The Indian Express on what the three new faces mean for KKR and if they are the franchise's future, Juhi stated, "Not just the future, they are the present of the team. It is amusing how there was a time when our kids would be at home, and we would be on the screen. Suddenly, it was the other way around because I was home watching my daughter on-screen. It was beautiful. God bless her, Aryan and Suhana. I wish them all the best."
