The Hindustan Times review of the show , “The trauma inflicted on children by their parents’ actions plays a big role in The Fame Game. Much of the story hinges on young Anamika’s relationship with her domineering mother, played by Suhasini Mulay. Anamika’s mother is an absolute shark, who forced her daughter to work in the film business when she was barely an adult. She had control on Anamika’s life and career from an early age, which she is in no mood to relinquish. She is clearly the boss of the house.”
