Addressing the controversy over the Kishore Kumar episode, Aditya said Amit Kumar should have been vocal about his complaints and the team would have accommodated his inputs. He said "Amitji has graced the show on multiple occasions and has always praised our contestants as well as our team. This time also he was lavish in his praise. If he wasn’t happy with certain aspects of the show he could have just told us during the shoot and we would have been more than happy to try and accommodate his inputs.”
