One fan complimented Renuka by writing, "You don't look older than 45" to which she replied that she was 54. Another criticised her for engaging in publicity attempt to which she replied that it was a way to appreciate and not to publicise. A fan hilariously used a play of words to say "live like the Shahanes", in Marathi, Shahane means clever. The witty reply cracked up Renuka. One fan gave Ashutosh Rana his best wishes in the comment section.
