Talking about the series inspiring people, Hansal Mehta told Indiatimes, ¡°Not just women, but I hope it inspires men and helps them to introspect how we look at a woman¡¯s success in a workplace and how we behave with her. This whole deep-rooted patriarchy we have where we attribute the success of a woman to sleeping around and a man¡¯s to his capability. It comes front of that conditioning that one has grown up with. I hope the show helps all of us introspect on how gender-biased we could be.¡±
