- Wife's acceptance of husband cheating, with a condition, causes uproar.
- Show contestant values money and attention from women over loyalty.

Filmmaker Lakshmi R Iyer has publicly criticized a reality show for promoting "misogynistic views" regarding infidelity.

Iyer urged viewers to stop normalizing such harmful narratives, emphasizing that loyalty and honesty remain attractive qualities. The sentiment was echoed by TV star Devoleena Bhattacharjee.
The show featured businessman Satish Sanpal expressing his love for money and attention from women. His wife, Tabinda, admitted to initial jealousy but stated she trusts him, while also describing her daily ritual of massaging his feet for prosperity, a practice rooted in Hindu belief. Tejasswi Prakash, also on the show, humorously declined to adopt the foot-massage ritual.
