As Prem Kamath,General Manager,Channel [v says,“The serial is based on a larger study that we conducted across 22 cities to find out the trends amongst the youth apart from their likes and dislikes and have incorporated those inputs.” As for introducing the one-hour weekly,Kamath informs that the channel has always been agnostic to any particular format or genre. “We are open to try any content that will relate to the youth. So far,we have launched many reality shows successfully and now we are getting into fiction shows.”

Vaibhavi Merchant roots for Mukti Mohan
It took a lot of coaxing from media reporters for choreographer and judge Vaibhavi Merchant to reveal her favourite contestant of popular dance reality show Zara Nachke Dikha. She said,“Mukti Mohan and Siddesh are great dancers. They have been dancing professionally. Mukti has been very consistent in all her performances. Jab bhi aati hain ek chhaap chod jati hain. She has a dance background. Siddhesh has done a dance reality show before. These two contestants have that X factor. But if I had to bet on who would win the show,then it has to be Mukti. She’s the best dancer of the lot.”
