Banerjee made a special appearance as the chief guest on the popular reality show in the episode featuring dancer Dona Ganguly, along with veteran singers Arundhati Holme Chowdhury and Sreeradha Banerjee. After the shoot, Banerjee mentioned that she enjoyed filming the special episode and then headed to attend the function of International Mother Language Day.
Though she was not part of the competition, the Chief Minister displayed her roti-making skills and even got the host Rachana Banerjee involved.
She also showcased her talent in singing, dancing, and reciting poems. In the roti-making competition, Dona, dancer and wife of cricketer Sourav Ganguly, emerged as the winner.
