During a candid conversation, Monika Panwar who will be taking the role of the young psychiatrist Sakshi Murmu, opened up on her character, the intriguing plot of the series, and much more.

Speaking about her character, Monika shared, "In the beginning of the show Sakshi is not her true self, she is being mistreated by her colleagues and people see her as a freak. However, she has perceived the ability to see the world in patterns invisible to the naked eye. People around her are not aware of her special abilities. Sakshi suffers from 'Savant syndrome', a rare syndrome that allows the person to develop extraordinary skills. The condition could be reflected in memories, calculations, etc. In Sakshi's case, the condition allows her to look through patterns and numbers. She initially considers her abilities as a curse but her journey in the show makes her realize that her curse might be a blessing.

She then rediscovers herself as a very resourceful and hyper intelligent person." Speaking about the similarity between Sakshi and herself, Monika shared, "Just like me, Sakshi is capable of immense empathy and curiosity and has the zeal to live life on her own terms."
