The story has been shown from the perspective of my character, Vedant and each element of the film has been beautifully tied together. The show marks my digital debut and I could not have asked for a better platform than ZEE5. We have tirelessly worked on this and I hope it makes the audiences stop and
ponder.”

Essaying the role of Kainaaz took an emotional toll on me and I cannot even imagine how the woman on which the story is based must have braved these incidents in her life. I hope every Kainaaz finds her Vedant. I am happy that ZEE5 backed this project and it will now have a chance to travel beyond borders and touch hearts.”
