In a conversation with News 18, Shriya reflected on essaying Ishita's mother in the Drishyam franchise. The actress said, "Yeah, I mean, it doesn’t make sense. I did think about it. I was like, how does it make any sense? I had to be a child to give birth to another child (laughs). But the story is so impactful and strong that you don’t think about all these things."
