The Diya Aur Baati Hai Hum fame mentioned that her husband encouraged her to return to work because he felt she had taken a long break. Discussing her husband's supportive attitude, Deepika shared, “When the offer came to me, I was surprised because until now in my career, I’ve always been offered strong roles. I couldn’t believe that it was for me.” 

When she shared the news with her husband, he joked, “Chalo kahin toh tum dominate hogi (Well, at least you'll dominate somewhere).” She said, “He told me not to take the role lightly and to give my best. He made sure that I’m doing the mock test well and taking the role seriously. He had seen how I’d left a few good shows in between because I was not serious. So this time he kept pushing me."

Speaking about her comeback, Deepika Singh clarified that her decision to stay at home was a matter of choice, not a lack of work opportunities. She expressed, “Mera dhyaan dance seekhne mein tha. Also, since I was financially empowered because of Diya Aur Baati Hum and my social media followers, I never craved to go out and work for money. I was financially independent.”

She added, “I stayed at home out of choice and not because I did not have any work. I was empowered because of the love of the people and my past work. I was working but not full-fledged.”
