Earlier, TV actress Urfi Javed was confirmed to play this role but the change happened overnight. As per news in India Forums, "The makers replaced Urfi due to change in characterization. Earlier, the new character was supposed to be modern and sophisticated who would wreak havoc in Falguni's (Tanvi Dogra) life and Urfi was finalised for the same. Now, the script demands the character to be more Indian and traditional."

Well, Urfi's loss is Charu's gain.
