Aditya with due regards, asks why Amit Kumar didn't communicate his unhappiness about the content while shooting. "Amitji has graced the show on various events and has consistently praised our challengers just as our team. This time also he was lavish in his praise.”
He further adds, “In fact, he was kind enough to share so many personal stories on Kishore da and we enjoyed and cherished each one. 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.”
