Casting

Srishti Singh was cast as Roshni Chopra. She made her television debut with Chashni.[15] Talking about playing a mother-in-law, she said, "Aishwarya Rai's character Paro from 'Devdas' is my inspiration for my character Roshni who plays the role of a Saas. I aim to mould my character of the saas in the shape, etiquette, and mannerisms, of the way Aishwarya has depicted herself in the film. I admire the way Paro has become a household name and I hope I receive the same amount of appreciation and love from the audience for Roshni."[16]
