Banerjee told Bombay Times, “I was apprehensive initially, but fortunately, the sets of both the shows are located next to each other and I don’t have to travel at all. Even my make-up artist and room will continue to be the same. It will be mainly about changing costumes. So, I don’t have to take extra precautions.”

Talking about the character, she said, "I play Sriti (Jha) and Shabbir (Ahluwalia)’s daughter. I think I look younger than my age, so that won’t be a problem. Also, Sriti and Shabbir are relatively older than my age group, so playing the part won’t be a problem. I will be essaying negative roles in both the shows and they will give me a lot of scope to perform.”

Concluding on a note about taking precautions and maintaining safety, she said, "Luckily, we are all fit and fine. It is important to take precautions and also continue working at the same time. I do not have any domestic help at home and have also decided to drive myself to the sets. I am maintaining social distancing at home and sanitize on the sets, too."
