Haneet said,"My joy knew no bounds when Zee TV told me that I would be participating in the Antakshri contest to be organised on July 23 in Famous Studio, Mumbai and that too with a celebrity. I have admired Annu Kaoor, host of ‘Antakshri’ for his spontaneous interaction with the contestants. When I got an opportunity to meet him face to face, I was in seventh heaven. Actually when Zee team had come to Ludhiana to shoot for the programme, I had not applied for it. During the shooting, the anchors Pallavi and Annu Kapur asked audience members to sing. I had just gone to see the programme out of curiosity. I started singing and they liked my voice and invited me for another audition in Mumbai in July."
