At the Kolkata Book Fair, seven children from Kolkata met Rukma Roy (who plays Kiranmala) at the stall of Star Jalsha. The actress said:

"Happy that the work of famed fantasy writer Dakshinaranjan Mitra Majumder will be introduced to the largely uninitiated audience of Gen Next as well as others. Replete with palace, forts and 'raj-durbar' Kiranmala by Star Jalsha will bring a change in the usual look of Bengali serials after many years."
