On her bond with Krystle Dsouza...
Anushka Sen's first guest on Not Just A Chat Show is actress Krystle Dsouza. Talking about the experience she had talking to Belan Wali Bahu actress, Anushka Sen mentioned that they could connect as both of them completed 12 years in the industry. She said, "I met Krystle for the very first time on the show. I knew about her, of course, had seen her perform. But she is a very cool, nice person and she has a very nice vibe to her. She was very open and genuine. The way she was there on the sets, her personality was really amazing. We were actually celebrating 12 years in the industry together. I started when I was 8 and I will be turning 20 very soon and she started 12 years back. It was very funny and it was very nice also as we were sharing each other's journies.'

Who is Anushka Sen's favourite host - Salman Khan, Rohit Shetty or Karan Johar?
The young actress was asked to name a host whom she admires the most. Without thinking much, she picked Rohit Shetty. She said, "I have to say that I am a little bias, I have to say Rohit Sir. I have been on Khatron Ke Khiladi and his show is different from the others. Karan Johar's show is different as it is all about conversations and rapid fires, Salman Khan's show is a different reality show as people are stuck in one room but when it comes to Rohit Sir, his show is about stunts and people who have never done stuff like that before and I know how it feels like. Rohit Sir's constant motivation makes you do something that you never expected that you will do. He is the best host I have met in my life."
