Prior to the contest Bindass organized a nationwide contest called Dance with SRK contest where the lucky winners would get to dance with Shah Rukh Khan on stage. Through a lucky dip, three winners - Andrew from Kolkatta, Richa from Lucknow and 9 year old Vidhi from Mumbai were chosen to dance with Shahrukh Khan.[5] The concert was telecast on Bindass on 26 January 2008 on the Indian Republic Day.

A video of Esha slapping a contestant Ravi Bhatia from Bindass' reality TV show 'Dadagiri' has attained the status of an internet meme under title of "How can she slap?".[6]
