Barkha Bisht, during an exclusive chat with indianexpress.com, had said “I think for the first time on television, the protagonist of a show is doing something completely against the norm of society. I’m with a man whom I’m not married to. So I’m doing everything that a regular television heroine does not do. All the characters are very real. There is no typical negative character on the show like any other show has. There are people who have shades of grey in them but they are all real people.”

There is much more in store for the viewers in the upcoming episodes of Naamkarann, with some major twists and interesting plots. Watch this space for more.
