According to the makers, Big Girls Don’t Cry revolves around “the lives of seven girls who are in their final year of a boarding school called Vandana Valley, dreaming to rule the campus”. Bhatt, who plays the role of the school principal, said she decided to board the project as she was drawn to the story.

“For me, this was key, as that ensures they become healthy role models for others out there. It is much needed in the times we live in, where the focus is more on materialistic and frivolous virtues,” Bhatt said in a statement.
Vandanapu said her character Ludo has been special for her and she hopes it will be appreciated by the audience.
“Ludo challenged me, intimidated me, and in some ways even broke me. But Ludo also built me back up, inspired me, and reassured me. She’s a magical character – and I hope that for audiences, she’s able to have even a fraction of the impact she had on me,” she added. Nitya Mehra, the director of the series, said Big Girls Don’t Cry is her homage to the best years of her life.
