Reception
Hindustan Times reviewing both pros and cons stated, "The show weds family drama with suspense beautifully. Various big and small actors have been used without giving anyone any less importance. The show has a unique voice-over from the dead father. Dhruv Bhandari doesn’t come across as a debutant. Sriti Jha gets the mannerisms right. The timings of the show might mar the audience ratings. The storyline moves a little slowly. For those who’re used to quick developments, this may drag."[6]
Speaking about the cast The Indian Express said, " Sriti is well cast as she brings a certain vulnerability and quiet strength to her character. Bhargavi Chirmule as the eldest sister is good too. Dhruv Bhandari as Yuvraj is fairly decent (very brave on his part to have chosen an unconventional debut). For a complex role like his, he does his best to bring the helplessness of his character very well. On the contrary, his real and reel father, Mohan Bhandari comes across as indifferent. Ditto Kavita Kapoor who gives the right expressions but doesn't seem to be all there. Naman Shaw as Neeraj, who's caught between his love for Sandhya and his obligations towards his adopted family, is fine too." They also gave three stars for the series.[7]
