With the new element of romance pitching in the story line of Sapna Babul Ka ...Bidaai, a sequence in the story required the settings to look like dargah but it turned out to be so real that actors Kinshuk and Parul felt that they were in dargah though it was only a set.

When we spoke to Kinshuk regarding this, he said, "It was really nice and a different experiment. The whole set was built so beautifully helping to convey the existence of the new element of romance in the story. It really felt as though I was in Dargah. Even when we were doing the prayers for the story, I was praying for real. The place was cool and during breaks, we used to feed the fishes in the pond. I am glad that it turned out to be good and the credit goes to the creative team for coming up with this concept and people who took the pain of making the set look so beautiful".

And Parul said, "It is inexplicable! I just can say that I felt I was in dargah. The feel was so real. Even the things that were used were those that were used in real dargah. The reason is because of the love story between Ragni and Ranbir that something different like this was thought of. I was so lost in prayers that I didn't hear the director calling off the shots. I was not only praying for reel but also for real. I prayed for the success of Bidaai, my sister Sara and for myself. We had a great time shooting and for real I slapped Kinshuk for fun and he was pleading me not to. That was fun".

So looks like the promos for the romantic element in Bidaai are going big time. Is the producer ringing in all forms to up the TRP's and stay ahead in the race against Kahani Hamari Mahabharat Ki?
