Adah said that playing Reeta Sanyal was a crazy experience for her. She stated, “She’s sharp, fearless, and always one step ahead. Reeta’s sense of humour even in serious situations is something I resonated with the most. As an actor I’m trying to play characters I haven’t played before and in Reeta Sanyal I got to be so many people. Legally! Reeta is a master of disguises and I can’t wait for the audience to watch her in different get ups speaking in different accents. I’ve used some voices inspired by some famous people too so I think the audience is in for a laugh riot. The unique thing about this show is that there isn’t any movie or show I can draw comparisons to.”
Rahul Dev added, “Playing Thakral has been a rewarding experience. A devil’s advocate carrying a big reputation, he's feared & respected by most in the legal circles. He operates in the gray areas of legality and blurs the lines between legal and illegal. He is the bane of Reeta’s life. While essaying Thakral's part, I was able to explore spoken word(dialogues) which went beyond the scope of real life. I am thankful to Abhirup, our director, whose inputs constantly manoeuvred the course of the character.”

Ankur Rathee, who plays a police inspector, said, "He aids Reeta’s investigation and their flirtatious dynamic leaves us constantly wondering “will they won’t they?” It only adds to the layers of tension, suspense, and theatrics that drive the story forward."
Finally, Manik Papneja said of his character, "[He] supports and balances Reeta’s quirky unpredictability, which really shines on screen. Working with Adah was a blast—her energy is impeccable, and our off-screen rapport made it easy to build natural chemistry on set. We shared plenty of laughs, which helped create the strong bond our characters have.”
