The whole unit, along with the lead actors, Anas Rashid who plays Suraj and Deepika Singh who is Sandhya in the show, had gone to Singapore to shoot part of a story that will air after a month. Because of this, the shooting in Mumbai with the remaining actors was halted. Yet the telecast of the show remained uninterrupted. Mittal admits, “It was a Herculean task to create a bank of episodes to air while we were in Singapore. My team worked hard to generate them in our absence. We have to applaud them for achieving the impossible.”
