Priya further added, "After shooting for `Salman ki sabha', I went back to the hotel. At around 12 in the night, I got to know about this news and that's when I asked the makers to allow Manu to come out of the house so that we both could be with his family in Jodhpur. It's a difficult time for us, especially for Manu, as he was extremely close to his mother."
When asked if Manu would come back for the show, Priya replied, “Yes, he would be returning after few days."
