The video had Nisha Adhikari and Gaurav Pokhrel playing the characters of Dr Sepalika and Chirag.Khanal stated that the inspiration to write 'Junelee' came from his readers. "Many people told me after reading 'Yayavar' that what happened to Junelee was unfair and that the book didn't include things from her perspective," he said.

Writer Nayan Raj Pandey and journalist Rabindra Mishra also shared their thoughts about 'Junelee'. Mishra pointed out that even those who haven't read 'Yayavar' can enjoy the book with no trouble. He added that the book's simple language will enable readers to finish 'Junelee' in one sitting.
