The mother-daughter duo often squabble and quarrel but are inseparable. Himani Shivpuri said, "My character of Renu is one of an extremely jovial person. Her sense of humour is loud yet harmless and she is a loving mother. Both mother and daughter share everything with each other but there is one secret that Renu has hidden from her daughter – the fact that she is an adopted child. She fears the repercussions it will have if her secret is ever made public. Though she is always joking around, her biggest worry is how her daughter will react if she finds out that she is adopted. Renu has no boundaries when it comes to behaviour and demeanour and ends up embarrassing her daughter often.’’
Prachi, who makes her big debut on television with Vishkanya, said, "I am really excited to play Vardaan. She is a bubbly chatterbox and full of life. She dotes on her mother. My track will involve many light and humorous moments and her energy and positivity will light up any situation. Though she is a confident and intelligent girl, she goes totally weak in the knees whenever she sees Malay. She falls for Malay at first sight but backs off when she gets to know he is engaged to Apu. However, there is a twist in store for the audience that I can’t reveal yet. I have just begun shooting for the show and I am totally loving it. It’s my honour to share screen space with industry veterans like Himani ji and Rohini Bannerjee. Hope the audiences like me as Vardaan and also enjoy the new twist that lies ahead on the show."
Vishkanya is currently on air on Zee TV.
