A frustrated Ahana tries to keep a distance from Rehaan but ends up having more troubles. Rehaan breaks up with his girlfriend, Vyoma.

On November 2017, lead Smiriti Kalra did not shoot for a week after she suffered back injuries by tripping from the staircase while shooting.[9]

On 3 January 2018, a strike in Mumbai by Dalit group affected the filming of the series due to which the shooting was wrapped up too early in morning itself.[10]
