In one of the episode of the chat show, Alia was asked to rate Ranveer Singh, Sushant Singh Rajput and Varun Dhawan. To which the actor replied, "Sushant Singh Rajput, Who?"

In another season's episode, Alia Bhatt was asked to choose between Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Sushant Singh Rajput in the 'Kill, Marry, and Hookup' round. Alia had said she would marry Ranbir, hookup with Ranveer and kill Sushant.

A user wrote, "YOU AND YOUR ELITIST BUFFOONS LITERALLY MOCKED HIM DAY AND NIGHT. I’m so angry. You don’t get to disrespect people in their lives and then fake sympathy when they’re dead."

"Everyone is talking indirectly about movie mafia & its gang, but nobody has courage to take strong stand against them(except kanagna), how many more lives they want to destroy? If you guys won't speak they will continue their meanness," another user wrote.
