Recently, Tanwar responded to the reactions to the trailer of her new show. In the video, shared by Netflix, she also shares some tidbits about the drama.

The actor also said reacting to the comment about the stellar cast that it was a fun experience working with them all. Though they couldn't joke or have a few laughs on camera, they did have a good time off the camera. 

The upcoming series revolves around Sheel (Tanwar), a woman in her late 40s, who is thrown into the world of crime and dirty politics, after the death of her daughter. Though the police investigate and confirm that it was an accident, she is not convinced and decides to go to any length to uncover the truth. She vows to avenge the death of her daughter by finding out the people responsible for it. 

The series is produced under the banner of Clean Slate Filmz, the production company, founded by Anushka Sharma and her brother Karnesh Ssharma. It will premiere on Netflix on April 15.
