While the show has been ruling the TRP charts, fans have now accused Irani of using a body double for the show. Some are even saying that it looks fake and disconnected as Smriti is trying to copy Anupamaa's traits. Reportedly, the actress is shooting her scenes separately while a body double is used for her sequences with family members. An X user spoke about the same and wrote, 'Glad that everyone is noticing this! For what is she charging 14L for? For shooting separately for like half an episode? It looks like people are talking to the wall, and then she is shown separately despite being in front!'
