Controversies

Sexual Exploitation

Swaagata G Shah, a contestant from the Season 2, has claimed that there have been exchanges of sexual favors between contestants and major people in the production team to get undue advantages in the contest in return. [1]

Racial Slur

One of the contestants on the show Mohit Malhotra, has been accused of using a racial slur after he called, Siddharth Bhardwaj, a "Nepali with 'chinky' eyes". This has caused obvious discomfort to India's North East Community, many of whom have oriental facial features. Though the show is unscripted the network and the sponsors have been accused of supporting such racial slurs by not bleeping the content after they decided to air it.[2]
