On the one-year completion of the film's release, Abhishek said, "I am grateful that I got a chance to tell this story. The transgender community is a small minority, and it was very important to have their voice heard in a way that could lead to their acceptance in society. When a genuine attempt to make a difference gets appreciated, it's extremely fulfilling." Producer Pragya Kapoor, too, expressed happiness over the first anniversary of 'Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui'.
