The show was originally meant to run for a year but ended prematurely after 94 episodes. The final track involving the replacement lead failed to revive interest. The series concluded with Avni and the new Shlok reuniting, but viewers largely felt the magic was lost after Avinesh Rekhi’s departure.
★★★☆☆ (3.5/5) – Commendable for its attempt, but flawed in execution and longevity. Note: This report is based on available broadcast data, fan archives, and critical reviews of the show as of its original run. iss pyaar ko kya naam season 2
