Reception

The series became popular due to the on-screen chemistry of real life couple Saud and Javeria Saud.[2] Initially, the series was praised for its unique plot and ensemble cast, but over the years, the series ultimately received criticism due to its unrealistic and melodramatic tracks. In an interview with The Nation, on being asked that whether the popularity of the show lessened with time, actress Javeria Saud commented, ''It is not that its popularity lessened with time. In this era in which we run after ratings and where dramas are turned down if they do not bring the required rating, Yeh Zindagi Hai continued to run for six and a half years at prime time. This is a proof of its consistent popularity.''[3]

Controversy

In the mid of July 2020, Salma Zafar (Saeeda) revealed in a 35 minute long video that her payment around 1 crore is due on JJS Productions (Javeria and Saud production house) and they denied clearing her dues. Salma also claimed that there are many artists and technicians from "Yeh Zindagi Hai" and "Yeh Kaisi Mohabbat Hai" who haven't been paid yet for their work. After her revelation, Sherry Shah (Pinky) came in Salma's support, asking Javeria and Saud to clear her dues approx 90 lacs. However, Noman Habib (Bhola.Jr) denied saying that all his dues from JJS Productions are clear.[4]

Artists namely; Aly Khan and Sangeeta supported Javeria and Saud saying that their work experience with JJS has been good.
