According to actress Anupriya Goenka, the makers of the show pitched it to her as a 45 minute short film for which she was paid accordingly. To her shock it turned out the makers were planning a 2 hour 5 part miniseries from the start and had intentionally misled her. Additionally she was also assured that the sex scenes would be dimly lit in silhouette and last no more than 30 seconds, this was not the case either as the sex scenes are a few minutes long and brightly lit with complete focus on the actress.
