When Ruchi was asked about her experience of working with Poonam Dhillon off-camera, she said that it was amazing. She shared that not just Poonam Dhillon but the entire cast and crew of Mukesh Jasoos be it the directors, her co-actors and her producers were all down to earth and fabulous to work with. Elaborating on the same she shared, "The entire atmosphere was so positive and motivating as everyone was on the same wavelength. I would wake up an hour before so I could just go on the set early and chill with all these people and I just didn’t come back home."

On being asked about certain observations that she made while watching Poonam Dhillon who plays the role of Ruchi's mother in the series, Ruchi shared that since Poonam Dhillon has been a part of the industry for many many years she exactly knows how a film shoot works. Shedding some light on the same Ruchi said, "The moment she (Poonam Dhillon) is in front of the camera she changes into a different person. She is usually quiet on set but as soon as the camera is on her she knows exactly what she has to do like nobody even needs to brief her on the scene."

The actor also shared that Poonam Dhillon is technically sound and knows how to work the camera angles while filming. She shared that Poonam knows all the technical aspects when it comes to facing the camera like how to take shadows and how to take the different lights on one's face. She further added that Poonam taught her how to turn her body according to the light so that her face shot would have no shadows and also gave her lessons on how to position well in front of the camera and which face profile works best for her. She also mentioned that Poonam Dhillon would also fix her hair sometimes during the shoot and was really humble to work with. She further stated, "If there was ever overlap in dialogues or some fumbling she (Poonam Dhillon) would come to us and let us know that so that we could make note of that the next time and not do it. Her experience shows a lot."
