Reception
Aparna Mudi from Zee news wrote about the book, "The writing is crisp, but the end seems hurried – it could have made a more lyrical finish to keep the high that Singhal maintains throughout the book."[4]Sankalpita Singh at Metro India said, "The book is written beautifully with the characters, the drama, the action woven so intricately yet so vividly. Though the book is very good, there is definitely scope for improvement in terms of plot."[5] Lucknow Tribune published, "The book attempts to make a rather powerful statement on women empowerment through the life of a high-end escort Nazaqat."[6]
