The show goes beyond just showcasing the brewing love between Ahaan and Ishqi and subtlety throws light onto societal issues about the patriarchal norms - whether it’s about a woman’s place in society or reiterating about women’s rights and choices.

Talking about a woman’s right to choose, Akshita Mudgal believes that a woman should be financially independent even if she is married. The actress said to a leading daily, "I am a firm believer of the fact that financial independence is critical to keep the relationship on an even keel. Being financially independent also gives you the confidence to move out if at all the marriage is not working. Moreover, it stops us from being completely dependent on the other partner for our personal or household needs. Being financially independent brings with it a sense of accomplishment and helps in building healthy morale. It essentially empowers women further, enabling them to make their own decisions and calling the shots the way they seem fit."
