In September 2018, actress Priyanka Kandwal quit the show as she doesn't want to age after the leap. In the same month, actor Avinash Mishra quit as he was dissatisfied with the screen time given to his character. Paras Kalnawat also quit the show as he was disappointment with the makers as they didn't offer him the lead character role as they promised after makers did a sad ending to his character Rehaan, the worst suffering character of show by his tragic death.

It initially started Deshna Dugad. Owing to low ratings, the storyline took a leap which started Mahima Makwana and Param Singh.
