Speaking about the criticism his show has received recently, Viveck Vaswani, who helped Shah Rukh Khan navigate his early struggling days, shared his honest disappointment with its depiction of the film industry. He told Radio Nasha Official, “What I felt was that when Shah Rukh came into the industry, the amount of love and respect that Aziz Mirza and Nirmala gave him, and that my mother and I gave him, and Saeed Mirza gave him… all of them gave him so much love, so much affection. So when did he come to the conclusion that Bollywood is a gutter and everyone in it is bad people? He is the one person who was treated with kid gloves as a rank outsider.” He also added that SRK was welcomed with open arms by the industry, yet the show mocked it relentlessly:

“Everyone treated him so well, so warmly, without a single rift. So, for me, and maybe I am the only one in this whole country who may have felt this, but I am also the only one in the country whose house he lived in for two years. So it’s fair to ask: Why did you think we were a bad industry? Why did you personally think that everyone was bad? I can understand you showing whatever you showed. But why was there not one redeeming character in the show? Someone who says: Yes, maybe everything is bad, but there are also some good, decent human beings here. And he is living proof of that.”
