But it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. The reboot has faced a fair share of criticism online, with some viewers claiming there’s a lack of chemistry between Smriti Irani and her co-star. A few social media users have even alleged that Smriti is relying on a body double for certain scenes, while others have pointed out that Tulsi Virani’s character seems to mirror Anupamaa in tone and mannerisms.
