the

has
to
say....
Rubina
was
quoted
by
IANS
as
saying,
"After
the
leap,
when
the
creative
team
discussed
Soumya's
future
with
me,
I
found
the
plot
to
be
unconventional,
intriguing
and
extremely
challenging.
I
was
very
confident
about
their
move
of
introducing
a
transgender
character
in
a
mainstream
show."
The actress further added that she was looking forward to essay a character which has never been explored on Indian television before.
Rubina
says
that
it
is
a
responsibility
to
play
a
transgender
on-screen.
She
further
said,
"It
is
the
kind
of
role
I
will
be
remembered
for
and
will
resonate
strongly
with
viewers."
Speaking
to
a
leading
daily,
the
producer
of
the
show,
Rashmi
Sharma
said,
"As
the
name
suggests,
this
is
a
show
based
on
realisation
of
the
power
of
our
existence.
It
is
not
a
regular
daily
soap;
it
comes
with
a
promise
of
entertainment
along
with
a
social
message."
She further added, "We fail to understand that eunuchs are as normal as we are and are free to live their lives the way they want to. We see them begging on streets and I feel that's because we have left them no choice. This show is an attempt to bring the audience closer to the reality of eunuchs. We hope that our efforts bring about a change."
