Reception

The Quint reviewed, "Varun Badola embraces the prickliness of being a middle-aged widower and makes the audience empathise with him – even if it’s accompanied by a dose of annoyance. Thanks to Swetha Tiwari’s natural performance and the empathetic way in which her character is handled, we root for Guneet to find love again."[6] The show was shut down on 19 November 2020 due to low ratings.
