Grahan revisited the 1984 anti-Sikh riots by telling a tender father-daughter story. If Pavan Malhotra brought his experience to his role, Zoya Hussain brought maturity and restraint as she played his cop-daughter Amrita Singh. Her performance has fetched her a Best Actor (Female): Series nomination at the mid-day and Radio City Hitlist OTT Awards. Thrilled at the honour, Hussain is quick to point out that having a talented co-star in Malhotra enhanced her act. “It was so special for me that he played my father. It’s amazing to see somebody who is at the top of their game, and yet so dedicated. As a student, it was exciting to watch and learn from him. When you have someone you admire as your co-star, you channel that [admiration] into your performance,” she explains.
