Many also called out Akrit Negi's inappropriate behaviour towards Arjun Bijlani. A user wrote, "@pankajtripathi sir, I’m really sorry to say this, but I’m quite disappointed with this video.

Ashneer Grover, the host, questioned Akriti about her game and why she didn't pitch to be the show's ultimate ruler, which sparked the altercation. After Akriti gave an explanation, Arjun questioned her actions, and the two subsequently got into a heated altercation.

Akriti Negi shared, "Jese ki Arjun sir ne bola tha ki aap mentally weak ho toh kahi na kahi mai unko btaugi ki mai mentally weak nahi thhi us waqt, main emotionally kaafi zyada weak hogyi thi upar aur mujpe upar kaafi zyaada akela bhi lag raha tha." To this Arjun replied, "Yeh akela mat bola karo yaar. Tum khudh akeli baithti ho upar. Hum yeh blame aur victim card nahi lenge."

Akriti left the stage as a result of the altercation. In fact, she gave Arjun the finger. Arjun said, "Sir, what is this behaviour? Isi wajah se she should be in the basement and then out of the show. Har time victim card. Main yahan kaam karke baitha hoon, faltu ka sehne wala nahi."
