She also shared if the makers approved of her decision. Chandni said, “The makers didn’t even force me to do that. They were kind enough to understand that I wouldn’t look like a 22-year-old girl's mother. I have always been told that I look chotu (small). So, this was like the most obvious choice.”

On September 9, the actress took to her official Instagram handle and shared a clip from the serial where her character Pakhi is seen standing with a little girl. She wrote in the caption, “Signing off as Pakhi.”
