Daisy Shah Opens Up on Bond With Palaash Muchhal

Speaking in a recent interview with Filmygyan, the Jai Ho actress shared her perspective on the Muchhal family’s character and grounded nature. Daisy revealed that her relationship with Palaash began through his sister, renowned playback singer Palak Muchhal. The bond dates back to Daisy's 2014 debut, where Palak lent her voice to a track in the Salman Khan-starrer. “Palaash is very good as a person. In fact, I have met him a couple of times," Daisy shared. "Palak had done a song for Jai Ho, so I have known her since then... I frequently go to parties at Palak‘s home for birthdays and Ganpati Pooja, and that’s how I met Palaash."
