Several viewers criticised the couple's statements and dynamics shown in the series, accusing them of promoting unhealthy relationship standards under the guise of modern relationships and luxury lifestyle entertainment. Amid the backlash, filmmaker Lakshmi R Iyer also weighed in on the controversy and strongly criticised the narrative being promoted.

Taking to social media, she wrote, "Saw a clip from a reality show where a wife said she's okay with her husband cheating as long as the woman isn't repeated. Stop normalising this bullshit. Stop setting terrible examples in the name of being "modern" or "cool." Being loyal is still attractive. Being honest is still attractive. Stop letting social media convince you otherwise."
