In an interview with Hindustan Times, Bhumi Pednekar reflected on the lukewarm response to Mere Husband Ki Biwi at the ticket window. "We did everything that we could and whoever is going into the theatre is liking the film. As far as somebody finds something to connect with the film, I am okay with it. What we were also trying to make was also a fun popcorn watcher, if it is successful in doing that, that's enough," Bhumi said.

The B-Town actress further hoped for the era of 'word-of-mouth' movies doesn't fade away. Pednekar added that she wouldn't have been in the industry if such movies didn't exist. She stated that all her movies have been 'word-of-mouth' films.
