In a recent interview, Abhishek was asked about some memorable fan encounters that he witnessed after the show, to which he revealed being called Hathoda Tyagi everywhere he goes.

He said, "I just get called Hathoda Tyagi everywhere wherever I go. People ask me if I have a weapon in my bag or in my pocket.. I have been asked by the security guys at the airports."

He further added a hilarious anecdote, saying, "They even joke about it— you don’t have a razor no? you don’t have a hammer no? So yes, these types of funny encounters I keep having."
