The premiere episode of second season aired on June 20, 2026 ,with star guests Alia Bhatt and Sharvari . And soon after that,viewers started giving mixed reactions,with some saying charm is missing and show feels more controlled than earlier.
But Ashish Chanchlani clearly did not want people to ignore what happened behind scenes . He came out strongly on social media and defended the team,especially after all backlash around first season and controversy connected to it.
He reminded fans that host Samay Raina,along with panelists Apoorva Mukhija and Ranveer Allahbadia,had gone through a year-long legal battle just to bring show back on air . And honestly,that part changes conversation little bit.
Few things standing out clearly here:
- Second season is being called "too filtered" by some viewers.
- Ashish Chanchlani said team fought year-long legal battle before return.
- Premiere episode featured Alia Bhatt and Sharvari on June 20,2026 .
Chanchlani also wrote,"It was uphill almost impossible pipe dream for S2 to even exist," and urged people to support show instead of only attacking it . His point was basically that revival itself took lot of effort after previous controversies .
And he did not stop there . He also said,"We had to fight a year-long legal battle where we promised to stay in line and make sure history doesn’t repeat itself." That line explains why show may feel more careful now,even if some fans are missing old raw vibe.
At same time,some viewers did enjoy lighter mood,especially Alia Bhatt's fun interactions with contestants . So it is not like response is fully negative,but yes,that old edgy energy debate is clearly happening rn.
And tbh,this is tricky space for any comedy or talent show now . If they go too far,backlash comes . If they play safe,people say charm is gone . Somewhere between entertainment,legal fear and audience expectations,this show is trying to survive…
But whether fans will accept this more filtered version or keep comparing it with earlier season,that question is still just hanging there…
