Development

After disconnecting Beyhadh2 The shooting studio of beyhadh2 starring Jennifer Winget, Ashish Chaudhary and Shivin Narang.. located on Mira road was acquired by this show The initial sequences of the series were scheduled to be filmed at

"I play a selfless mother in the show, who does not want her son to come back after he goes abroad to study. She feels that just because you look after your children, does not mean that they need to come back and look after their parents. It should be the child’s choice if he/she wants to stay with the parents or not. So, I sort of connect with this character because I believe in selfless parenting."
