Talking about the show, the show was at the receiving end of backlash ever since they allowed Aruna Vijay to cook a fish-based dish with paneer, just because she was vegetarian. Post that episode, the audience would scrutinize every episode and call out the judges and the makers for showing blatant favouritism.
