Another account from a viewer noted that Rakhi and Maheep exchanged snide remarks throughout the episode, with Rakhi becoming increasingly disrespectful, eventually telling Maheep to stop talking during his conversation with a contestant. This prompted Maheep to leave the stage, after which Rakhi threw the chair and walked out, belittling the contestant before leaving. The show ended shortly thereafter. The user also suggested that parts of the show seemed scripted, with some performances appearing to be mere fillers.

Additionally, another audience member claimed that Rakhi's behavior throughout the show was inappropriate, including making odd jokes and disrespectful remarks towards Maheep Singh. Her antics frustrated both Maheep and fellow judge Balraj, who started ignoring her as the episode went on. At one point, Rakhi interrupted Maheep while he was praising a poet, shouting that the poet wasn't good and insulting him. She also reportedly criticized Samay Raina, telling him not to invite her to such shows in the future. After Rakhi left, Maheep followed, creating a tense atmosphere among the remaining judges, including Samay, Ashish, and Yashraj, who decided to quickly wrap up the show.
