Although Rakhi has denied the rumours, she has opened up about playing Daya Ben's character in her way. While speaking to ETimes, Rakhi revealed that initially, she believed that the rumours will die down, but they kept increasing. So, she had to post the clarification from her side. However, Rakhi also opened up on the difficulty of taking the role, and stepping into Disha's shoes, "Comedy comes naturally to me. But of course, it will be challenging. However, it won't be very difficult." Vijan further added that apart from following Disha's impressions, she would add her inputs as well, "I will have to take a lot of nuances from her style and include mine. I will have to do a good merger. If I do it entirely my way, it might be difficult for the audience to relate to it." Rakhi also added that she will also learn Gujarati to get her accent perfect.
