The Imlie actress said, "Aruna jee entered the as a cameo appearance in the show. Her character is that of an astrologer who predicts Agastya's death. She shot with us for two days and trust me when I say this, it never felt like she is this renowned Bollywood actress. She was so warm, grounded, and humble. She was like an elder member of the family. I grew up watching her onscreen and sharing screen space with her was surreal. 

"I wasn't keeping well when she was on the sets and she kept on enquiring about my health via messages and that made me feel so good. She is a gem of a person."

"There's a lot more in store for the viewers and I'm sure they'll love the new story. It felt like we were shooting for a new show altogether (laughs). I hope the viewers give Surya and Imlie the same amount of love and acceptance that they gave to Imlie and Agastya," she ended.
