Many of the daily soap's lead actors and crew have pleaded with the producers and the channel to clear their pending dues. It seems, however, that their plea is going unheard since even now nothing has materialized.

Taking this into account, Zaan Khan, the show 's leading actor, has now asked everyone to listen to their requests as well and save them as he and the team are mentally disturbed.
