She is portraying an influencer who intends to promote Rizwan’s (Kunal Verma) book and compete with Abhimanyu (Sehban Azim). Sumbul is thrilled to be a part of the show because it will be the first time her fans will see her acting since her stint on Bigg Boss. She expressed her joy by saying,, “I am a fan of fiction shows and this is my first appearance after ‘Big Boss’ where audiences will see me as an actor and not as myself. I am equally excited and nervous about the role. I want to put my best foot forward. Moreover, it is challenging as audiences have been used to seeing me as Sumbul and not as an actor.”
