As the series goes on floor, Dixit-Nene said, “I feel alive every time I’m in front of the camera and this is a project I’ve been extremely excited about. The character has been written so well, she is layered and complex, so I really had to get into her skin while prepping for this role. And now that we’ve started shooting, I’m eager to delve deeper into her various facets and explore every hidden aspect of her. I’m thrilled that Netflix and Dharmatic have given me the opportunity to play such a unique persona. I can’t wait to share more details with my fans and for this series to hit the service.”
