Abhinav Shukla is a cameo, main lead still under wraps.

The show which is a remake of the original Bengali hit serial Khela is all about the lives of two contrasting women who unite to fight a highly exploitative and rigid patriarchal household. Abhinav Shukla who plays Annirudh in the serial is Additi's husband says that he is just playing a cameo, "You can say that it is an extended cameo as I am around for only couple of episodes." Ask him why he then accepted the show and he says, "I liked the character and the story when it was narrated to me. And till I am waiting for the elusive main lead I thought of doing this."

However, he doesn't think that the role will get extended further, "I play a dead character Annirudh who is shown as dead and comes back in flashback scenes so I don't see how it will get extended."

Confirming the same is Mitali Bhattacharya, the producer who says, "Yes, there will be another entry of a male character and we have still not decided on who will play the role. We have adapted the original Bengali hit serial Khela but we will be making changes as per the taste of the Hindi audience."
