When the veteran filmmaker entered the show, he received lots of flying kisses from Archana, and that was when he opened up about having a crush on her back in the time when she was unmarried. He had said:
"Kapil ye mera 34th crush thi. Agar Parmeet eski life mein na hota na. Toh ye jo crush (referring to himself) haina, crusher banjata eske upar."

Receiving all these lovely compliments from his 34th crush, Satish immediately recalled the moment when he had fallen in love with her. The veteran filmmaker had revealed that when he was in Dubai to promote his film, Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja, some people harassed Archana, and she came to him for help. He had recalled:
"Mereko esse (Archana Puran Singh) pyar pata hai kaisey hogaya tha. Actually Dubai mein hum show karne gaye the. Hindustan ki sabse disaster movie, Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja banayi thi. Hum usko promote karne ke leye gaye the Dubai mein. Aur ye Archana jo hain, suddenly main backstage tha aur show ki taiyari chal rahi thi. Aur bhagti hui aayi, aur rooti hui. Maine pucha kya hua Archana. Esne kaha Satish mere saath Satish. Main na bus mein aari thi, aur kuch ladko ne mere saath jabrdasti ki."

Toh aapka ye show ho nahi payega Dubai ke andar. Aur vo bade powerful log the. Aur jab ye aayi, aur humne un 5 logo ko dhunda, esne unko pechana aur vo aake eske pairo pe pade, aur unhone sorry bola. Esne (Archana) mereko gale lagaya, vo gale lagte he mereko crush hogaya eske upar."
