Sharing her excitement, the actress said: “Playing the role of India’s first female detective in a show is an incredible honour. Charlie Chopra is a character that I have poured my heart into, and I can’t wait for the audience to join me on this thrilling journey. It’s not often that such parts are written and to play a role etched into the title of the project is even more special.”

I have always been extremely fond of his female characters with which he pens them into his script and Charlie is no different. It’s my most ambitious role till date and I can’t wait to see how everyone receives Charlie as the brand new detective in town.”
