A source from the show told the publication, “The story focuses on creating awareness about and improving the health of pregnant women and newborns.

Smriti wanted to use the show as a platform to promote health and social awareness through storytelling.”
Smriti Irani is a supporter of social issues on and off screen
At a recent Bombay Times Fashion event, Irani emphasized her support for traditional handloom sarees by wearing a piece from Gaurang Shah’s collection. She told Mumbai Mirror, “I have always believed that a saree is never limited to a woman. It is beautiful, holds a piece of our history, and exudes dignity. It does not limit a woman to any particular size or body type.”
Irani further discussed the show’s bold storylines, in which her on-screen daughter files a false domestic violence case against her in-laws. He said, “Can we stand up for people like this? It’s not something you usually expect to see in a television show or movie, because people often say we’re not progressive enough.”
