Sharing his experience about anchoring the reality show, Rithwik said, "I simply love kids and I think I gel with them very easily. This is my first show as an anchor and it is fun to host a kid's series. It is a brilliant feeling altogether to be a part of the project; it really makes you feel lively. I must say that these kids are exceptionally phenomenal, talented and very crazy."
Speaking of one particular kid, he said, "There was one cute looking kid from Dehradun who had come in police attire playing a cop. Whenever he used to meet me, he used to ask me about Purvi (Asha Negi) from Pavitra Rishta. I feel that he is sincerely in love with her. Hence, I think I will organize a meeting of him with Asha one day."
Asked about his experience of working with Ragini, he said, "She is one soul who is much ahead of me in terms of anchoring as she has anchored a reality show before this. She knows that if you have to be in the company of kids, you too have to become like one of them. She is brilliant in doing this".
