Speaking about the same, a source told a leading daily that, "Sweta has a clause in her contract that she won't do intimate scenes, and won't wear sleeveless and short clothes. Because of this, the suhagraat sequence had to be toned down considerably."

When Sweta was contacted to know about the same, she told Bombay Times that, "I am not comfortable wearing sleeveless clothes, as I don't think that they flatter my body. When it comes to short clothes, I had told the producers right in the beginning that I won't wear hot pants or anything too short. This is the remake of a Bengali show and we are sticking to the original script. There wasn't any intimate scene in the original show, so there is no need to shoot one for the Hindi version. I had told the makers that I won't be comfortable shooting intimate scenes or locking lips, which has become normal on TV nowadays. However, it's not up my alley."
