Reception

The first teaser was released on Hum Tv’s official pages and was met with positive reviews for its unconventional storyline and relatable character portrayal. Although initial teasers were positive the drama later garnered criticism due to the casting of Sanam Jung, who is not plus size and wore a fatsuit to don the character. Jung later gave a statement explaining as to why she wore the fat suit and clarified that she did in fact gain weight to fit the role but was restricted to 5-7kgs due to health conditions.[4]
