This is a fresh topic that has never been seen on television. The show revolves around the bond between siblings, highlighting the importance of having a saarthi, a guiding force, in one’s life. Krishna’s role as a saarthi to her brother Mohan portrays the deep-rooted connection between siblings. I would like to say that audience should watch it and understand after watching because it’s a very captivating story about the relationship between a brother and a sister and how Krishna always supports Mohan.

Honestly, the whole team is incredible. I didn’t have to stress about anything because they’ve got it all covered. From the producers to the directors, everyone’s fantastic and incredibly supportive. To keep the character genuine and relatable, the inspiration were the girls who struggle in their day to day lives and yet are high on spirits.

What were the challenges while shooting for the show?

Talking about my fears, riding the scooter and jumping in water for the sequence was a bit daunting. It was hands down the most challenging task of my life, but I summoned up all my courage, even recited the Hanuman Chalisa for strength, and managed to pull it off. It’s a scene you don’t want to miss - trust me, it’s unforgettable.
