## Reception

### Critical reception

The serial received positive reviews for its haunting theme and performances of the lead couple. A reviewer from *Daily Times* lauded the story of the serial stating, "It wasn’t only mysterious but also a show that heavily focuses on the theme of Mental Health, a subject that is spoken very briefly about and sometimes also ignored."

### Controversy

After the release of teasers of the show, the show was heavily criticised for the publicity of sexual harassment in the work place as a romantic genre, to which Farhat Ishtiaq replied that by watching the teaser of just 30 seconds, the whole story of the show cannot be predicted. Viewers will see that why she (Aina) went for the job interview with such a heavy makeup. It may be that both characters know each other already.
