In a video clicked by a paparazzo, Sherlyn can be seen all smiles as she approaches Rani at the Durga pandal. Before the latter reacts, she tries to touch her feet out of respect. Rani looked surprised as she sprung back and gestured at Sherlyn not to do that. The two then applied sindoor to each other as part of the festivities, and Sherlyn thanked Rani before making her way. Sherlyn opted for a red and gold silk saree for the festive day, adorning her hair with fresh flowers. Rani opted for a cream and gold saree paired with a red blouse.
