Speaking about what made her take up the role, Kanika shares, "The 1947 Independence concept of the show made me take up the role. It is a very different role compared to what I have played on screen in the past. I am playing a widow in a no-makeup look, and my character is colourful but with no colours to her personality, which made the role an even more intriguing and interesting one for me to take up. I have never been part of such a unique storyline before and it definitely got me excited when I was approached for the show, so I just had to take it up!".
