The series was based on the life of her sister, Kanchan Chaudhary Bhattacharya, who became the second IPS officer after Kiran Bedi.

Talking about her characters in the ads, she told The Quint, "Lalitaji was a non-sense character, which was not my personality, but I just felt I could understand its tone. She trusted the actor's understanding."
