Himesh also got very emotional when he met Laxmi Agarwal and said  that Laxmi Agarwal on whom the film chapaak  is based  is a star  for whom the entire world should clap for , Himesh took a selfie with Laxmi and  said that he will always cherish this moment. Laxmi Agarwal came on the sets of his TV show and also sang the beautiful song Lag jaa gale which she dedicated to Deepika .
