While the show's star host defended the claims, explaining that the shocks given were not strong, former contestant Samir Soni says, "The audience is smart and knows what they want to watch. People know what to expect. If you don't like it, don't watch it. The format of the show is about putting celebrities under stress."
While Aman Varma claims Pratyusha was faking the electric shock reaction to garner sympathy and get votes.
