Production


Broadcast

The show was moved from its original time slot on 4 January 2023. It was replaced by Teri Meri Doriyaann in its original time slot. Speaking on the same, actor Rajveer Singh said, "''At the end of the day, it is the channel's decision. Our show is moving to that slot and I think we will do good in that slot, too. In the 7 pm slot, we have been consistent and so I don't feel that our show was moved due to low ratings. In fact, in the last two weeks, our ratings have improved. Maybe, the channel wants to make the 6.30 slot more engaging for viewers.''"
