Critical reception[]
Writing for Dawn Images, Sadaf Haider praised the Ghisi Piti Mohabbat and ranked it as a 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 and 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] At annual ARY People's Choice Awards, Fasih Bari Khan, Saba Faisal and Ramsha Khan won Favourite Writer, Favourite Actress in a Role of Maa and Favourite Actress respectively.[10][11]
