Now the host of the show Aditya Narayan has spoken about the criticism that the show is facing over the past few weeks. In an interview with Bollywood spy, he had shared that he feels that people are simply frustrated that the IPL ended and taking it out on Indian Idol. He had stated,”I think do-teen hafte pehle IPL band hogaya. Uska saara gussa humpe nikal rahe hain (The IPL ended a couple of weeks ago. They are venting their anger at us).”

“Mummy papas have taken over the remote and they are watching Indian Idol. So our younger generation is unhappy. They don’t know where to vent their anger. Including myself, I feel this void too. As soon as it struck 7-7.30, I would get on it. I even made those cricket teams on phone apps. Over the last year and this year too, we are consuming anything that comes on TV a little too fervently. Only because we have too much time right now,”he added.
Stay tuned for more such gossips.
