Speaking about his character, Sikandar Kher says, ”Daulat is very protective about Aarya’s character and is incredibly loyal to the family - you could say he is almost like the foot soldier of the family. He stays by her side and tries to protect her from whatever comes her way - in a way, this character, Daulat is different from my real-life personality and I wanted to get every shot to be taken well and I was ready to go back as many times possible in front of the camera to get it right. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with this team, everyone has shared a lot of love on set and going there to begin each day was exciting.

The world of Hotstar Specials show Aarya starts with a loving wife & doting mother (Aarya), her reluctance to be involved in the illegal narcotics family business; whose life is suddenly turned upside down, her family is threatened and, in the quest to protect them she is forced to become the very person she always avoided.
