Supporting cast

The show had one crossover episode with Bade Achhe Lagte Hain on 6 December 2013.[7]

The Indian Express rated two stars and reviewed, "Jee Le Zara has all the right elements — the smart sets, the wardrobe, the middle-class lifestyle, even the actors — but its heart is somehow misplaced in the drama dye. As cool as the concept sounds, the show is playing to the gallery, pandering to popular culture with long pregnant pauses, silly facial expressions, that funny ringtone of a background score and needless exaggeration."[8]
