The series has been very well received and the editing especially has been receiving a lot of praise.

“It was a very phenomenal web series to edit because the story was from a different era. Every episode was a distinct story in itself with many actors and characters. Working with an international team was also a new experience. A lot of editing took place mentally on the sets itself. The actual editing was time consuming and involved a lot of effort, but I am happy with the reviews it has received. I am thankful to the director Ron Scalpello and producers Abhimanyu Singh, Roopali Singh of Taj: Divided by Blood for showing faith in me and allowing me the opportunity to experiment,” he said further.
