Controversy

Few days after the show started on-air, the video of Siddiqui goes viral where he was seen misbehaving with rival team captain Sarfaraz Ahmed. Many people and celebrities criticized Siddiqui and called the act disrespectful.[2][5] In the later episode, Siddiqui apologises to Ahmed and his fans saying he didn't mean it. Following his apology both Ahmed and Mustafa told him it's all good and no apologies were required to begin with.[6]
