Speaking about her OTT debut, Tiwari said, “I wanted to tell a unique story that will challenge my brain, allow me to dive deeper into building new dimensions of characters, paving a new grammar of storytelling for a new-age audience.”

About her association with SonyLIV, she added, “I am looking forward to debut with SonyLIV who are always finding innovative ways to set world-class benchmarks for themselves and the creators. We have shared similar passion and excitement over the years when it comes to the stories we want to say, and taking a similar journey forward, this unconventional screenplay and long format medium will surely make me learn, think on my toes and hopefully stir hearts with its relatable concept.”
