Apparently, Shantanu is excited about sharing the stage with Sonali Bendre since they go back a long way. Shantanu excitedly shares, "I was 8 years old when I performed on a dance show which Sonali Bendre was hosting and judging back then. I remember being so excited about it as she was a big childhood favorite of mine. I really loved the way she acted in sarfarosh. Somehow I would just happen to be a part of every show she was judging back then. Kya Masti Kya Dhoom as well as India's Got Talent season 1. She had really complimented me for my act on the show, and I remember her saying that I would go a long way with my determination and potential, which she had seen in me. I am very excited to be sharing the screen with her after so many years, and absolutely looking forward to work with her again and this time I won't be participating in it, but infact hosting it."
"I am thrilled about hosting this in front of Sonali Bendre & really plan to surprise her," he concluded.
