Samay continued the banter, adding, “Sharon Verma is a Bihari who came to Mumbai in search of a job. Just Bihari things. “There are certain forces in society that deliberately make controversial statements simply to gain publicity. Their sole objective is to become famous. We need to understand that the deities of Sanatan Hinduism and Kashmiri Pandits cannot be treated as subjects of ridicule. “Someone cannot deliberately do something offensive and then simply apologize afterwards. In the meantime, they get the publicity they wanted across the country for free,” he added further again. The episode featured actress and television personality Archana Puran Singh and social media personality Orhan Awatramani, popularly known as Orry, on the panel. During the show, Raina also took a dig at Archana while speaking to a contestant. A contestant named AR Tiwari performed Bhojpuri shayari on the show. Raina then used the mention of vlogging to joke about Archana, who regularly shares family vlogs. Vlogging doesn’t need talent”. Archana was quick to respond. Her response was met with cheers from the audience, while Raina did not immediately have a comeback.
