Divyanka had recently opened up about turning down the offer in an interview to TOI. She said, "After working for so many years in this industry, if it is me or anyone as an actor, we should have at least this liberty to choose a project which I am passionate about." The actress also mentioned that she didn't relate to this project and conveyed her feelings to the production house and declined the part."
"As far as the report of me looking older than him onscreen is considered, in fact I totally agree with it. Because when I was offered the show and I was proposed this idea, I was surprised after hearing about the pairing and my family also reacted the same way. They felt that we would look slightly off. But when I spoke to the show's team over the phone, I agreed to do the look test. I felt like let's give the look test and see how our pair actually looks on screen," she added.
We reached out to Disha for her comment, but she remained unavailable.
