Suchanti further added, "Maza aaya and Smriti ma'am ke saath hamara experience bohot hi achchha raha. Unhone hamari nervousness sari gayab kar di."

Show's success
TRP not sole marker of success: Gandhi
Gandhi also spoke about the changing dynamics of the television industry and how TRP ratings are no longer the sole indicator of a show's popularity. He said, "Pehle TRP se justify hota tha ki show popular hai ki nahi. Ab sirf TRP se nahi hota." "I don't think only TRP justifies the show." The show is available on Star Plus and airs every night at 10:30pm.
