Gunjan expressed, ‘ I want to collaborate with Madhuri ma’am, Jelo ma’am, and Salman Khan’ on being asked with whom she would like to share the stage. 

Lastly, when questioned if she has ever faced any criticism from her neighborhood for the following dance, she affirmed, “No, I have never got any criticism, in fact, I have always been encouraged for dancing which gave me more enthusiasm and  I pushed my father to put me in dance class as soon as possible.”
