He even told me that he is considering me and Divyanka for it. In fact, one more girl was in his mind. He asked me to give a look test but unfortunately, we didn't get time to do that as I had to go inside the Bigg Boss house. So, after the reality show ended, I thought that by now the project must have gone on floors, as it was already 4 months after our first discussion. But one day, suddenly Sandip called me saying that the project has not gone on floors as Divyanaka was finalised and ready to shoot but due to her date issues she had to back out. So, that’s how it came back to me and I am extremely happy about it. I remember when I heard the brief of the show for the first time, the thing which came to my mind was, ‘I wish I could do this.” 

Earlier Divyanka Tripathi was almost finalised for the show. However, due to lack of availability of the dates, she chose to opt out. Thus, Dipika Kakr got the opportunity and was finalised for the show.
