For the unversed, Bhavya quit TMKOC in February 2017. He was replaced by 19-year-old Mumbai based teenager Raj Anadkat.

On Disha, Bhavya said, "We definitely have these video calls sometimes, and every time, she sees me, she goes, 'Aahhh, whatt, beard?'. I say, yes, I've got a beard now. She has never seen me in a beard, so she gets shocked. I say, 'Haan, aave gaiyo' (Yes, they've grown) and I am growing them more."
