In March 2012, the shoot of the series was halted for a while when a leopard entered the sets of the series in Film City at Goregaon.[5]
The series was initially reported to end in December 2012.[6] However, it was later confirmed to end on last week of November 2012 and it ended on 23 November 2012.
The Indian Express reviewed, "The story is interesting. The setting is not your usual badi havelis but a realistic background where characters speak authentic language of the region. The dialogues are crisp and refreshing. Credit goes to the producers Paresh Rawal and Hemal Thakkar, the writer and co-producer Kamal Pandey and director Santram Verma to put together a watchable show. The performances too are consistently good. Leading the pack is Pooja Sharma as Sanchi, who is raw but has an endearing quality. The story moves at a good pace and so far has been both engaging and entertaining. It's a great respite from mundane family dramas."[7]
