Though the show had a good start, it failed to gain major attention of the audience and went off-air soon after its launch. Earlier, Ekta Kapoor had shared a video of the opening shot of Kavita featuring Smriti Irani and Ram Kapoor. The filmmaker shared the video with the caption, "Blast from the past! No one knew these two stalwarts had worked together. And they look so different @smritiirani @RamKapoor."

Both the actors, Smriti Irani and Ram Kapoor commented on the post.

How awesome to see this after so many years. We are both looking BACCHAAS!!."
