Aditya told SpotboyE, “With all due respect to Amitji, it is never easy to honour the legacy of a legend in an hour or two. But we always try our level best to put on a great show especially given the circumstances. Due to the pandemic, we were shooting in Daman with a limited team and crew, limited rehearsals, different set etc. Still week after week we are putting out fresh episodes where most other channels are playing re-runs of their content.”

Aditya also said that if Amit was not happy with certain aspects of the show he could have just told them during the shoot and they would have tried and accommodated his inputs.
