Social media influencer Apoorva Mukhija, comedian Samay Raina and content creator Ashish Chanchlani, who were the co-panelists, were flabbergasted while they were laughing.

Action against Ranveer Allahbadia
The National Commission for Women (NCW) has summoned YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, comedian Samay Raina and India's Got Latent producers on February 17 over alleged derogatory comments made in the show.
Taking exception to the comments, the NCW has said these violate the dignity and respect owed to every individual, particularly in a society that claims to uphold equality and mutual respect.
Besides Allahbadia and Raina, those summoned include social media influencer Apoorva Makhija and the show's producers, Tushar Poojari and Saurabh Bothra.
