Reception

The drama series became heavily popular soon after its telecast and although unable to surpass records of Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai, it was still able to beat Pakistani dramas such as Qaid-e-Tanhai, Mera Saaein 2, Thakan and Pakvilla in competition. Hina Dilpazeer's acting is praised very much and especially her variety of roles. Many people mistake her nomination at the 2012 Lux Style Awards for her multiple roles for Quddusi Sahab Ki Bewah, though she was actually nominated for drama serial Tum Ho Ke Chup.
