Kajol said when discussing the cooperation and expressing her delight that Bollywood is an enigma that brilliantly amalgamates India's ardent spirit of creation, inventiveness, and artistic sensibility. It is an honour for her to give a show to the audience that honours the long heritage of Indian film, which has long catered to the preferences of a wide variety of spectators. Bollywood has served as an inspiration to the worldwide film industry thanks to its exquisite cinematography, gifted performers, classic songs, and unique plots, among other things, and she's honoured to work in this field.

According to Rana Daggubati, The Journey of India shows the rich results of India's collective labour and sheer willpower. Being environmentally mindful and adopting sustainability as a nation is wonderful, especially at this critical juncture in the climate change problem. The network's contributions to advancing environmental awareness and igniting the green movement are still unmatched. Thus, the actor considers it an honour to be a part of a show that highlights these astounding accomplishments.
