In a recent interview, Talwar said; “My symptoms are mild, and I have been home quarantined. My wife has also undergone the test and her reports are awaited. I would request all those who have come in contact with me over the past few days to undergo the test.”. 

Director Singh said, “Since the director works in close proximity with actors, I isolated myself even before my test reports came in. I am now getting my wife and two children tested.”. 

As known, the shoot has been halted for days now and the team is working on a new storyline to tweak the storyline.  

Singh added, “The shoot was halted for four days. We don’t have a bank (of episodes), and now, the team will have to change the storyline too. I will virtually guide my assistants during the shoot, as soon the new story is in place.”
