Truly inspiring, the passion that she has for her craft is immaculate. I am so inspired by her; she’s amazing.”

Director Debbie Rao disclosed an interesting fact, saying, “We gave Asmara contact lenses so that she would have the same eyes as Tanvi Azmi, so she would look more like her nani, and they have some similarity.”

Anushka Sen further explained her connection with Vishakha Pandey, who portrays the character of Ruksana. She mentioned, “Ruru is that person who’s like a genuine pure soul. And I gelled so much with her on day 1. I was like, 'She’s such a sweet person,' and I feel very protective of her even though I am the youngest of the cast. I think you can see that friendship and that genuineness on screen when you see Ruru and Asmara starting to understand each other even though they're very different."

The actress also discussed her love interest in the show, played by Kush Jotwani. She revealed, “Farzan and Asmara are such important characters in the show. The budding romance that is happening is so sweet, and it's like what first love feels like. Kush and I are also really good friends. I am so proud of him; it's his debut.”
