Many have slammed the show for its regressive narrative and even filed petitions against it at the Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC), seeking a permanent ban. However, at a recently held press conference, Shashi Mittal defended the show.
Meanwhile, the BCCC directed Sony Entertainment Television to shift its show Pehredaar Piya Ki to a late night slot and also suggested to run it with a scroll stating that it does not promote the concept of child marriage.
