[edit]Development
[edit]Talking about the show, which addresses the social issue of body shaming faced by overweight women, producer Sunjoy Waddhwa said, "The show is about how today’s generation deals with issues that they personally don’t see as problems, but society does. The story revolves around a confident young woman who is overweight, but doesn’t see her weight as a limitation. But she is body shamed in society and her weight becomes an issue when it comes to getting married or at her workplace. Being overweight is not an issue but fat shaming is toxic and quite common in India."[3]
