Sushmita Sen said in a statement about her portrayal of Shreegauri Sawant, "When I was first approached for Taali, in my mind it was an instant yes, however, I took six and a half months to come on-board officially.

Shreegauri Sawant is an admirable human being, I connect with her on so many aspects, and I’m fortunate to have got the opportunity live through her incredible life, through this series. The road ahead to inclusivity is a long one, and I’m certain Taali is a force that will help spearhead this shift in the consciousness.”Sushmita Sen, was last seen in the titular character in Aarya season 2 on Disney+ Hotstar in 2021.
