In an exclusive interview with BT, Shilpa Shinde revealed that she was unhappy with her character and track in Maddam Sir. She said, "My role as Naina Mathur was a cameo and it was going to last for 10-15 days. I took it up because it sounded quite challenging. I shot for a few days and then suddenly, I was told to take a break. While shooting for the show, I also got to know that it was going to wrap up and would have a second season later. I have been wondering what's happening to my track. If I had been told that I would have to take a break like this, I would not have taken up the offer."

We were told that we will shoot for the show only twice a week but we are shooting every day."
