Vijayta claimed that Shah Rukh Khan had promised to look after his son after Aadesh's death. The actor had visited her late spouse before he passed away. 

During the interview, Vijayta said in Hindi, "He (Avitesh) works so hard, he has recorded music with Akon and French Montana, among others. But unfortunately, my son is not getting support or direction in the film industry. people from the industry know that today Aadesh is not there, they should help my son. You won't believe when Aadesh was in the hospital, Shah Rukh Khan used to come and meet him. One day before he died, Aadesh held Shah Rukh's hand, when he could not even talk and gestured pointing towards our son that he should look after him. Today, I am just not able to contact Shah Rukh; the number that was given to my son is not working. I just want to remind Shah Rukh that he was a good friend of Aadesh, and this is the time, we need you. I need you for my son because he is my and our family's future. I am not earning, I am not doing anything."

She added, "Shah Rukh Khan can make a film with my son under his production banner red Chillies Entertainment. He (Avitesh) is such a good actor, he is doing a film called Sir Ek friday that will have an OTT release... he is working so hard. I want to remind Shah Rukh that this is the time, to come and help my son. He just needs a little push. Shah Rukh is a very sweet man, he came twice to see Aadesh in the last stages of his cancer. Now that he has promised, I want to ask him to help my son; he needs you; he does not have a father. Aadesh made you promise that so you have to do something."

While Vijayta agreed that Shah Rukh is a "big star today," she also mentioned that her brothers, the composer pair Jatin-Lalit, had "played a big role in his success."
