The show, created by Ekta Kapoor, has been written by Ritu Bhatia and directed by Karishma Kohli. Ekta had announced the project in May last year by sharing the first poster of the web series. It showed Karisma losing her cool as her three kids engage in a pillow-fight in the background.
In real life, Karisma has two kids--daughter Samaiera and son Kiaan. She was last seen in 2012 film "Dangerous Ishhq". Talking about her comeback, she had said in a statement, "Out of choice I wanted to be with my family and children. After a while when I heard this script it was so interesting, the script was about today's mother and it was so strong. Women of all ages and all those who are mothers will identify with my characters. It is also something which I am going through right now. Young parents and older parents will identify with 'Mentalhood'. My character is today's mom and as a human, she will do the right thing and is real. I am thoroughly enjoying shooting with all my lovely co-actors."
