As soon as the episode wrapped up, fan clubs on Instagram shared memes of the 19-year-old actor ranging from topics such as food, fashion and even family.
But Pandey took it in jest, re-shared the posts and even tagged her parents Bhavana and Chunky Pandey in one.

"I had no idea I was making all these expressions but loving the memes (sic)," she wrote. Laughing at yourself is a gift. Especially if you are an actor.
Booked in a mall Lower Parel is not exactly the kind of neighbourhood where you would end up, if books are on your mind. However, a lifestyle shopping hub in the area hopes to give things a good shake-up. In a first, the mall is offering a platform for literature lovers to come together at Literati, a book club and session that will be curated by Anita Naidu Pawaskar. The evening will begin with a stand-up comedy act by Kautuk Srivastava, who is also an author, at 7 pm.

"We love literature, and having our own space where we can interact with and listen to authors, storytellers and publishers talk about their books and experiences excited us, igniting the idea to create a platform for such literary conversations," Pawaskar told this diarist. The event is open to all.
