Satyamev Jayate (TV series) Jha from "The Times of India" commented on the show, "...though brave and thought provoking, was disappointing in its lack of genuine connectivity between the host and the victims of social atrocity. At the moment "Satyamev Jayate" looks like a product of elitist conscientiousness." Sheela Bhatt, from Rediff.com, commented that the format of "Satyameva Jayate" has to be more profound, and the big problem of the show is that it is on predictable lines. She went on conclude by requesting Khan to bring in some raw energy in the show. The show also received positive feedback from various eminent personalities
Satyamev Jayate (TV series) Khan, however, was hesitant at first but agreed and worked upon the concept of the show for two years. In an interview with Zee News, he said, "Initially I was scared to do the show as we were travelling on a different path. I was worried. It was in a way difficult, but we knew what we are doing is different, but it comes straight from our heart." He also added, "I cannot say I understand TV completely. I was earlier scared to go ahead with the project. I can only say I have made this show with complete honesty
