Neena Gupta disclosed that the new season was scheduled for shooting during the summer due to actors’ conflicting schedules, leading to sweltering conditions. She admitted to finding herself complaining one day while filming under the scorching summer sun.

In an interview with Mirchi Plus, Neena Gupta said, “I am happiest when I am working. At that time, I am not bothered about sand, 47-degree heat, and all if the work is good. When we did Season 3 of Panchayat, we again shot in peak summer because of date issues of people. We would keep wet cloths on our faces and necks. No matter how many umbrellas you have, when you are getting ready for a shot, before ‘sound’ and ‘action’, some time is taken to get the shot ready.”

Reflecting on a scene she filmed for the upcoming season, Neena recounted being positioned under the scorching sun as the director signaled the start of filming. She said, “In one shot, I was standing under the blazing sun, and the director announced ‘Sound, action,’ so the umbrellas were removed. But it took some time to get the shot started, and I was burning. I was complaining to myself, saying, ‘Ye kya hai? (What is this?)’"

Neena added that she soon grasped a vital life lesson: avoidance wasn't an option; she had to proceed with the scene. Embracing this realization, she found solace in acceptance.

Neena Gupta also disclosed during the interview that she now has the freedom to select her film roles. She recounted being approached for a lucrative advertisement offer, recognizing the financial potential of such ventures. However, she opted to decline the opportunity due to concerns about the brand's adverse effects on health.
