Reception
Critical reception
Writing for Dawn Images, Sadaf Haider praised the Ghisi Piti Mohabbat and ranked it as the best serial of the year.[8] She wrote, "Despite its cynical title, Ghissi Pitti Mohabbat could easily have been a great romance—the kind that bets on a flip of a coin as the characters learn what is truly valuable in life."[1]
A reviewer from Daily Times praised the Ramsha Khan's character and performance, the serial's writing, execution and its multiple genres stating, "The show is a sweet combo of comedy and quirkiness with romance, melodrama, family dynamics, and societal norms splashed across the story. It is equal parts sweet, heartfelt, funny to laugh out loud hilarious in most scenes, and the show’s narrative is fresh, gripping, and thoroughly entertaining."[9]
