She had left her dark brown colored hair open with a side parting.
She received a grand welcome from the show host and audience and addressed them in Bengali telling them how delighted she was to return to her home town after long.

She also dragged the judges on to the stage and forced them to shake a leg with her in the girls' jugalbandi round.
She was so impressed by the singers, who sang songs filmed on her, that she requested music director and show judge, Pritam, to use the girls' voice for her in her next movie.

At one point Rani reprimanded the judges for being tough on the girls. Encouragement, the girls loosened up and gave an improved follow-up performance.
The event became a complete thriller, when Rani herself crooned a sweet Bengali folk song and a Bhajan for the crowd.
