Dipannita Sharma:"I think Salaam Zindagi is a very concept related program and it has very interesting concepts which are picked up from things that are happening around us, affecting or society. I think which is why it makes the program very very interesting. I enjoyed myself thoroughly on the show. It has a very interesting ensemble of people and you spoke about the various facets of the same topic. Naghma, I think is a really good anchor and she ended the show at the right time in the right way. I think Salaam Zindagi is something that could reach out to the common masses and it has a message without being judgemental."

Sherlyn Chopra:"It was truly fabulous. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was not like a typical chat show. It was more like a get-together, people meeting up and expressing their opinions. It was bitchy at times, it was catty, and I loved it. Naghma is a very warm anchor, and she made me feel very comfortable. She got the best out of me by asking me direct questions and not beating around the bush."

Chitrashi Rawat:"I will actually 'salaam' Salaam Zindagi. It was a fabulous show. It has a really really nice concept. I was really impressed by Naghma.

Keep watching the show Salaam Zindagi."

Meghna Naidu:"It was nice to be on Salaam Zindagi. For the first time, I was a part of a show, that talked more than just eve teasing. The show actually made me cry, hearing and watching the others on the show. There are a lot of painful stories, and when you hear them, you feel why did it happen to that person. This show has taught me a lot. I think men should watch the show, and realise and learn something from it. I think it's just a brilliant show, and I would really really love to come back here."

Anurag Kashyap:"My experience on the show was extremely therapeutic and encouraging, and meeting other people who have gone through the same made me feel stronger and I wasn't ashamed anymore. Great show and greater people, sensitive and brave, thanks for the experience."

Eijaz Khan:"Its very heartwarming that someone is taking the time out to discuss such topics instead of chasing TRPs and sensational things. Even if someone cried, it was handled without making it exhibitionist. Although it was unnerving at first, almost like stripping in public, since the topic was so personal. Watching the other kids on the show, I felt that I was watching a reflection of myself in my younger days. But I know that they will recover and everything will be alright as they grow up. In all, its a very mature show and above all, a very necessary show."

Guddi Maruti:"I loved being on Salaam Zindagi simply because of the fact that the discussions were so heartfelt and frank.
