"It was not much of a sex scene but a proper lovemaking scene with Annu ji. It was Raani Umanglata's first night with her husband and the King, Bhadra Pratap Singh. So, it had to be very sensual. I was conscious but Annu Ji made sure that I was comfortable while doing the scene. And I decided, if I had to do this, I better make sure it looks absolutely great," Ashmita Bakshi told Spotboye in an interview.

She further added, "The scene where hot melted wax is being put on my back. It was actually hot molten wax that's been put, not something artificial. I was completely bare back and was covered with a silicon sheet which made the impact lesser. It was a very tortorous scene but it was shot extremely well and it is being appreciated a lot."
Speaking about her family reaction, Ashmita said, "The trailers went viral and my family saw them. They loved the look and the feel and were eagerly waiting to see the series. I was a little skeptical of my father's reaction but he told me that I was looking great in the trailers and he is waiting to see the series. He advised me to take up different roles and not be hesitant about it. I am glad with their reaction."
Paurashpur also features Shilpa Shinde, Milind Soman, Kashish Rai, Shaheer Sheikh, Flora Saini, Anant Joshi, Harshita Kasyap and Sahil Salathia. The show is directed by Sachindra Vats.
