Kishwer added that it was the age that was a problem at Suyyash's place. She shared that she understands it now as her son would one day come and announce that he was planning to get married to an older woman, she would also be shocked. Kishwer was quoted as saying:

"It was slightly difficult for me as I was older than him. I am eight years older than him. Vo thura sa with his mother, vo thura sa tha, obliviously because I am a mother now, I completely understand that you know. Agar mera beta bhi mujhe aake bolta ki you know 8 saal badi ladki hai. Toh I would also be like, 'Dude what'."
