The popular ’90s singer replied saying that he was there to motivate the contestants and applaud them for their talent and whatever he said while appreciating them was all genuine and not fake. The conversation was taken ahead by Himesh Reshammiya who is one of the judges on the show. He said that these are tough times that have made them realised that it’s important to spread happiness and positivity. “Pandemic ne bahut kuch seekha diya hai. Pyaar karo, pyaar banto, appreciate karo, logon ki honsla afzai karo, logon ko aage leke jao yaar. Jai Mata Di. Let’s rock,” he said.

In another interview, Aditya talked about the makers creating a fake relationship angle between Pawandeep Rajan and Arunita Kanjilal to entertain the audience. He called it a ‘dhong’ in an interview with Bollywood Spy and said, “Hum masti karte hai (We are just having some fun). People say that we cook up make-believe affairs on reality shows. So what? Did we ever say no? We do it. Ye dhong hai (This is all a lie). But you enjoy it no? Because we love to do it.”
