Our understanding of death, as a society, Sethi believes, hasn't evolved yet; we still don't know how to deal with someone passing away — be it a friend or a family member. The only thing that perhaps has changed, she quips, is that it is more acceptable for women to enter crematoriums. She also asserts that the best thing to come out of the pandemic is that those who lose loved ones can now have space to themselves for grieving due to the need for social distancing. "When you lose someone, you just want to be left alone for a few days because you haven't digested that such a thing has happened. Another thing I believe is that evil people get to live longer than good humans, and that's something I'm going to be making fun of in the show, too," Sethi informs.

While acknowledging that the uncertainty that looms over us all is intense, Sethi also wishes to address how the lockdown has driven people lonely and anxious. And reiterating that the show is suitable for everyone, she wants the audience to know that like birth, death should be celebrated, too; that "people live forever if they live in your heart."
