Reception

Times Now said, "While it’s very clear in the first episode itself how twisted Janhvi is, makers keep the intrigue alive with her character. While Shrenu keeps the intrigue alive with her antics in the show, Zain’s character, Kabir, also manages to add to all the drama right before the episode ends".

The Times of India stated, "Ek Bhram – Sarvagun Sampanna will keep you hooked to the show with Janhvi’s mysterious unsettled scores".

India Today said, "Shrenu Parikh is quite convincing as Janhvi, who can deceive anyone with her perfect bahu act. Ayub Khan fits well into the role of a strict head of the family. Ek Bhram – Sarvagun Sampanna looks promising and will keep the viewers hooked with its interesting twists and turns".

Production

Development

The show was launched in a 1000-year-old heritage called Saas–Bahu temple located in Udaipur, Rajasthan.

The initial sequences of the series were inspired from real life incidents of a highly influential Indian family whom the makers maintained confidential. Due to this, they received threat phone calls from some of the families fearing threat to their identity.

In June 2019, the show went through a revamp in its storyline to increase the very low ratings, due to which actors Ayub Khan and Tanvi Dogra who were playing PK Mittal and Kavya Mittal respectively had to exit the show. Speaking about it producer Dipti Kalwani said, "The show is going in for a revamp with the existing cast. Actors are not quitting and will be brought back soon".

Cancellation

Despite the revamp in June 2019, the ratings did not reach expectations and thus, the shoot of the series concluded on 13 September 2019 while the series aired its last episode on 20 September 2019.
