Reception

The show is the fourth longest-running Indian television soap opera and is still one of the top rated show.

Hina Khan participated in the 'Power of 49' campaign, in which soap opera actors used their influence to urge women to vote.

The show was also broadcast by Urdu 1 and Star Plus sister channel STAR Utsav.
