She continued to tell the portal, "It was my call to quit the show. They respected my decision which is really great. And hence, it turned out to be an amicable decision between the production house and me." Dismissing reports of trouble between herself and the producer, Rajashree quipped, "There is no difference between us. In fact, she tried to resolve the things for me but to an extent sorting things were not possible for them also, as I am the main lead of the show. That's why we had to take this unfortunate decision."

When the portal got in touch with Rati Pandey, she said, "I have not joined the show yet but talks are on. Things are at the discussion stage, so I won't be able to tell you anything confirmed for now."
