"The interesting part about the series is that it comes as a breath of fresh air on the digital platform which has a lot of dark content. While on one hand it will entertain and has a lighter vein, on the other hand it also reflects some very important issues in the society which we do not discuss aloud," Swara said. Rasbhari Movie Review: Ayushmaan Saxena’s Performance Saves This Sluggish Coming-Of-Age Comedy Starring Swara Bhasker.

"Like adolescent sexuality, the hypocrisy of a repressive society and patriarchy's fundamental fear of female sexuality. But all this is narrated and depicted in a fun way. I hope people enjoy it as much as I enjoyed essaying these roles," she added. The show streams on Amazon Prime Video.
