Further, they talk about working with 9-10 writers to get fresh stories, how 'Wagle Ki Duniya' touches upon issues like good touch-bad touch, menstruation, mental health, gender equality and more, with an intent to strike relevant engagement and conversations, and the kind of difference a fantastic casting can make to a show.
