Fashion critic and a popular anonymous account — Diet Sabya — known for exposing plagiarism in fashion, called Kapoor out for outfit.

The series also stars Shilpa Shukla, Tillotama Singh, Dino Morea, Shruti Seth and Sandhya Mridul. Karisma said the show aims to entertain but at the same time, it also addresses relevant issues like surrogacy and bullying.
"There's a meaning, learning behind the show. Each episode has a message for everyone. Even men watching it would say 'Oh my God! I didn't realise this.' We deal with bullying, gender, exam fever, and surrogacy. It's actually entertainment with learning which is so beautiful," the actor said.
