While promoting her new show, Khushbu joins DNA India for an exclusive interaction and discusses the acceptance of TV actors in the film industry. Ask her if she believes that TV actors don't get many opportunities in films, and she says, "Absolutely. so many times (I felt the same). Last year I gave around 150-200 auditions in Bollywood. I've also given for Lappatta Ladies. This is when it is called 'Two Brides'. They auditioned 200-300 girls, and I was among that lot. So many Dharma (Production) films auditions we do but we fail." Khushbu further adds, "We don't talk about failures enough, but we fail a lot we succeed."  

Khushbu also discusses which film and which actor inspired her the most. "Ek din maine D-Day dekhi, and jab film khatam, I realise ki this I wanted what to work. I told my parents, and they laughed, but I was serious." Khushbu adds that and Hum Qureshi and Shruti Haasan's characters as well as how she reacted to her death scenes.

Khushbu is also a die-hard fan of late Irrfan, and sharing her admiration for him, she adds, "Irrfan Khan is my all-time favourite God of acting. I feel like putting his frame in my house aur roz unki aarti karne ka mann karega. Jaise Shiv bhagwan ko Natraj maana jaata hai. I think unhe bhi aisi koi padhwi milni chaiye."
