The show stars Megha Ray as the protagonist.
Kashish Duggal, who plays the role of Radhika’s mother, has faith in her daughter’s abilities, but it is a mother’s prerogative to worry about her child. Kashish relates to her character, Suman Yadav, and recalls similar instances from her own life.
She said, “In Suman, I see my mother. I was a theatre artiste, but needed to move to Mumbai to make a career out of my passion for acting. So, I packed my bags, leaving behind my worried mother, who would constantly call me to make sure I was doing okay. She knew every little detail about my life. Now that I am portraying a mother to a daughter who is pursuing her dreams far from home, I connect more strongly to my mother. As Suman, I now understand what my mom went through, and it’s tough. I have tried to adopt my mom’s mannerisms and incorporate them in my character of Suman.”
