She also explained her cultural practice of performing a blessing, or puja, in the house after purchasing it. Verma-Lallian clarified that the decision to buy the home was purely based on their admiration for it, rather than its previous owner. "I believe every property has a history that we may or may not know about," she said. "We chose to honour the positive aspects of the previous owner’s life, his immense talent, and all the joy he brought to so many people."

Verma-Lallian’s acquisition marks a new chapter for the property, infused with both personal and spiritual significance.
