Talking about the changes in the show’s story, a source told the Times of India, that the makers will work on parallel tracks. Though the makers are not stressed about Manav’s absence as they have a decent bank of episodes. But, a few parallel tracks during his absence will be worked out on, which will be of short time.

Last year in September, actress Rajeshwari Sachdev had tested COVID positive, bringing the shoot to a halt for a few days. She is no longer a part of Shaadi Mubarak, as she quit because her character did not shape well.
