However, the premise of the show has been facing a lot of flak from netizens. As much as the initiative aims at helping society, people are objecting to the competition element of the show. Actress Jameela Jamil wrote on her official Twitter account, “Couldn’t they just give the money it’s going to take to pay this UNBELIEVABLY expensive talent and make this show, directly to activist causes? Rather than turning activism into a game and then giving a fraction of the much needed money away in a ‘prize…?’ People are dying.”
